Guess

Lakers 118, Spurs 116

money line

TO GO PAST.

The Spurs have a good chance of winning this game outright, especially considering the Lakers’ away performance. Given the distribution there, they are better played there.

against the spread

BET SLIPS +3.5 (-115).

The Lakers have won 3 in a row and are almost unbeatable at home. They were a very different team on the road. They are 1-4 ahead in the 5 away games they played and are in the ATS. Los Angeles allowed 125 or more points in 3 of those road games.

The Spurs have scored at least 116 points in their last 2 games and are 3-2 ATS at home in their last 5 games. They scored well and should have enough length to limit Davis, the Lakers’ leading scorer, at Wembanyama. Given these trends, Spurs +3.5 (-115).

Top/Bottom

BET OVER 225.5 (-115).

The Lakers are losing 3-2 on the road and have scored at least 116 points in 3 consecutive games. Davis and James, the top 2 scoring options, are shooting over 52% from the field. They allowed 115 or more points in 4 of their 5 away games.

The Spurs are 6-6 O/U on the season and 5-2 O/U in their last seven games. They scored at least 111 points in 3 of the last 5 games and averaged 127.5 points in the last 2 games. OVER 225.5 (-115).
