Game Preview
The Spurs have lost three in a row, and aren’t in a great mood ahead of this contest. After losing to the Nuggets, they suffered defeats to the Bulls and the Bucks, both on the road. This means the Spurs’ event against the Lakers will be their third straight on the road.
San Antonio Spurs’ previous five games have all gone UNDER, and over the past 11 contests, the Texas franchise is 8-3 against the spread. This is an important fact for all those who bet on the NBA.

LA Lakers are an older team, and a pause came in handy. However, the reasons for the pause are tragic, and we are sure the LAL players didn’t want this kind of a break. They are coming off back-to-back losses, both on the road, against the Rockets and the Mavs.
Anthony Davis is playing fantastic basketball and is in contention for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award. He averages 11.9 boards the No.6 in the NBA, with 2.1 blocks and 1.3 steals. Additionally, he scores 25.8 points, which makes him the seventh-best scorer in the league.
Spurs vs. Lakers Head to Head
The Lakers already beat the Spurs twice this year, 120-115 and 119-101, both times in San Antonio.
Spurs vs. Lakers Prediction
The Lakers are rested and in better shape overall than the Spurs, who are on a downhill slide. Plus, the purple and gold play at home.
