Spurs vs Lakers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Spurs listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Spurs have looked great in their games this season with their 36-16 record overall which has them right near the top of the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have been a good road team too with their 16-10 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Lakers have looked good in their games this season with their 32-19 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have looked good on their home court too with their 14-8 home record this season. The Lakers have looked a lot better in their games lately and have been starting to roll now. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won 3 games in a row now. They are starting to build some momentum now, but they didn't have the toughest stretch of schedule entering this game. They have been beating up some banged up teams lately, and they aren't in a great situation here either. They are playing this game on a back-to-back and they have a tough game against the Thunder on Monday night so they might not have their best effort for the Spurs here. The Spurs are going to have the rest advantage though, and they have also been rolling lately. The Spurs are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have won 4 games in a row now too. They have also been healthy lately and that has been a big boost for them, making them one of the best teams in the NBA over the last month. The Spurs are now within striking distance of the Thunder for the top seed in the West and they can take advantage of the banged up Lakers on a back-to-back here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Spurs to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"One of the best stat lines I've seen with my own eyes." - Victor Wembanyama on Stephon Castle after their win against the Mavericks in their game on Saturday.
"It's huge to play at a place like this. I mean, the biggest stage in basketball, it's something special. And I think for me, expectation was obviously get a win. That's the biggest thing at the end of the day. But for me, just to be aggressive out there, try to make plays when I can and have an impact, whether that's shooting, passing, screening, rebound, anything it is. That was my expectation for myself. And I thought it was a really good one." - Luke Kennard on his LA Laker debut.
