San Antonio Spurs:

It’s hard to know how the San Antonio Spurs players will be able to put up a fight against most of the league’s rivals, but don’t underestimate the team.

San Antonio started the season with a 123-97 victory over Oklahoma, but that’s all. In the next meeting, the Spurs lost to Denver (96-102) and failed to do anything against Milwaukee (111-121). In short, there are plenty of problems to contend with.

Los Angeles Lakers:

LeBron James and company disappointed everyone with their play in the offseason and at the start of the season, but as predicted, the winless streak ended in the last meeting. The head coach is slowly beginning to bring his boys to the wins, who are seen as one of the main championship contenders.

After two defeats in a row, the Lakers decided to throw everything they had in the match against the Grizzlies. Frank Vogel’s men won the game against Memphis, 121-118, at home. Carmelo Anthony forgot he is 37 years old and scored 28 points.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers statistics:

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers Tips:

The Los Angeles Lakers lost all their preseason meetings and then lost their opening two games of the regular season. After that, they won the game against powerful Memphis (121-118) on their floor. The point is that the Lakers can turn on themselves at any time – it’s better not to piss off LeBron, Anthony, and their teammates.

We think the visitors will beat their opponent. “Spurs” seems to be the obvious outsider of this game.

Our first prediction and bet is the Lakers’ easy win with the -5.5 points handicap with the odds of 2.11.

We assume that the home side will play a more defensive game. The Spurs understand who the visitors are, so they will clearly have to contain their opponents’ attacks.

Our second prediction is total match points under 223.5 with the odds of 1.71 with the VBet bookmaker.
