Lakers vs Spurs Prediction
The Lakers are still shorthanded with LeBron James and Rui Hachimura still out, while the Spurs will again be missing Victor Wembenyama, De’Aaron Fox, and Charles Bassey. The Lakers were struggling during their four-game skid, but they were able to get back on track with a solid win over the Suns last night. The Spurs are dealing with some key injuries themselves, which has made it more surprising that they’ve been able to win two of their last three games. The line was always going to be hefty for this one, but while I have the Lakers winning this one. Something tells me these pesky Spurs are just going to hang around and keep this to single digits at the end.
