Spurs vs Lakers Betting Preview: Best ATS, Total, Prop Picks
1. Los Angeles Lakers ATS -3.5
These teams have played twice this season in San Antonio, with the Lakers winning each game. In the last game, the Lakers won 119-101 on November 27. Neither LeBron James nor Anthony Davis had great games, scoring under 20 points, and the supporting cast stepped up.
Since then, getting that help from the Lakers’ supporting cast has been rare, especially in the last game. Davis had 21 points and 12 rebounds, while James almost finished with a triple-double: 18 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists.

In that loss, Austin Reaves was the next-highest scorer with 15 points. Before that loss, Reaves might have been one of the biggest reasons to back the Lakers in NBA expert picks. He had been the third player James and Davis needed, averaging 23.8 points and 10.5 assists in the six prior games, in which the Lakers went 4-2.
However, beyond what happened in the last game, the Lakers seem like the best option to cover the spread. They will be playing for a city that has just been dealing with a national disaster while facing a team that likely can not keep up.
Spurs vs Lakers Over 220.5
Going into this game, the Spurs have not been great. They have lost three straight, with the last one not being incredibly close. In the first two losses, the Spurs offense had success, scoring 111 points against the Denver Nuggets and then 110 when facing the Chicago Bulls.
On the season, the Spurs are averaging 111.3 points per game, so dropping to 105 against the Bucks was not good. The bigger issue is how the team looked, but more importantly, Victor Wembanyama, who is leading the team in scoring at 25.1 points per game, finished that loss with 10 points, far below his season average.

That level of scoring from Wembanyama is probably not going to happen again. Even though Davis is an elite center defender on the Lakers, Wembanyama should be able to overcome that and return to his regular play.
If that is the case, this game has a good chance of hitting the over for NBA picks today. The Lakers will be motivated to have a big offensive game back on the court. Their defense also allows 114 points per game, ranked 20th in the league, which Wembanyama and the Spurs should be able to capitalize on.
Best Bet: Spurs vs Lakers Over 220.5
LeBron James Over 23.5 Points (-112)
This will be a difficult moment for the city of Los Angeles and the team. The Lakers head coach, JJ Redick, lost his house in the wildfires, which had a good chance of galvanizing the team.
That level of purpose is a big reason to back the Lakers to cover the NBA spread and back James in prop bets to have a big game. There is a good chance he hits the over on his points total after having nearly a week off and a lot of motivation to win this game.
Best Bet: LeBron James Over 23.5 Points (-112)
