San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
The San Antonio Spurs have been in great form as they’ve won nine of their last 12 games overall. They will be eager to build on their current four-game win streak after routing the depleted Mavericks in a 138-125 win on Saturday. Stephon Castle was unstoppable in this game as he led the way with a triple-double of 40 points with 12 rebounds and 12 assists on 15 of 19 shooting. Devin Vassell added 17 points with six assists, while Victor Wembenyama tallied 16 points with 11 rebounds and three blocks. As a team, the Spurs shot a healthy 56 percent from the field and 14 of 35 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 81 points in the first half to take control right away. They didn’t take their foot off the gas until the lead ballooned to 28 points.
Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have been in great shape, as they’ve won eight of their last 12 games overall. They will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak halted by the Thunder in a 119-110 loss last night. LeBron James led the team with 22 points and 10 assists on nine of 17 shooting, Marcus Smart added 19 points, and Austin Reaves chipped in with 16 points and seven assists off the bench. As a team, the Lakers shot 50 percent from the field and 10 of 31 from the 3-point line as they got off to a poor start and allowed 67 points in the first half to fall behind early. But they climbed their way back into the contest and trailed by just three points with 1:03 left on the clock, before the Thunder scored the final six points to slip away at the end.

Lakers vs Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are still playing without Lindy Waters III, while the Lakers have ruled out Luka Doncic once again. These teams have already met three times this season, with the Spurs winning the last two meetings by double digits to lead the series by 2-1. The Lakers put up a great fight against the shorthanded Thunder last night, but it’s going to be tough to back up that effort on zero days’ rest against a well-rested Spurs team playing some solid basketball at the moment. The Lakers might be tempting with the hefty start, but the Spurs are on a roll currently, and I think they take advantage of a tired Lakers squad in this spot.
