(NBA) San Antonio vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: -8.50 | -115.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a double revenge game for the Lakers and the Spurs stumble into this contest having lost three of their last four games, with all of the defeats coming by more than 30 points, including Tuesday's 139-105 setback at Utah. Meanwhile, the Lakers have won their last three contests by an average of 14.3 PPG, with Monday's 120-96 rout of Phoenix marking the team's largest margin of victory this season. The Spurs have given up an average of 127.3 PPG over their last six contests and the effort versus Utah marked the third time they have allowed 135 or more during the stretch. LA has won five of its last six home games, covering all 5 of the wins. The Spurs have beaten them twice already this season and I look for the LA LAKERS to come out strong at home here tonight!
