Tips for the Spurs versus. Lakers Game Professional Forecasts
On their way to Los Angeles to face the 20-16 Lakers, the Spurs(18-19) and 12th-placed Lakers(20-16) in the Western Conference will be hoping to end a three-game losing streak. Victor Wembanyama, a sophomore wonder, has been the shining light for San Antonio’s youthful team this season, averaging 25.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. Despite leadership from veteran point guard Chris Paul, the Spurs have been inconsistent as of late, going 4-6 in their last 10 games, 6-11 on the road, and a dismal 7-16 when underdogs.
Amidst this, the Lakers are flourishing in advantageous circumstances. They have a 14-5 record when favorites, a 12-5 home record, and a 6-4 overall record in their past 10 games. Anthony Davis has been outstanding, averaging 25.8 points and anchoring the Lakers’ defense, and LeBron James keeps defying the odds, delivering 23.8 points per game. The Lakers’ mental preparation for this game is uncertain, though, because of the flames affecting the West.
The Lakers are a deserving favorite, but with both teams getting plenty of rest, it might be a high-scoring game. With at least two days of rest between games, the Spurs score 119.7 points per contest, while the Lakers score 113. There has been an average of 236.2 points scored in the last five games between these two clubs. This game appears to be a sure bet for the Over to win with the total set at just 220.5.
The odds of over 220.5 (-110) on the Spurs vs. Lakers are available as of this writing. Able to be played at that level.
