San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
At first glance takers will look at this fixture and see a typically weak opponent against the cream of the crop of the West and say this one has San Antonio written all over it. However, this would be a bit presumptuous as the Lakers are a much different team. Let us not forget that in Los Angeles, the Lakers routed the defending Western Conference Champions, the Golden State Warriors from wire-to-gate and they have not let up since then. San Antonio got off to a rough start and typically they have a lot of trouble on the road. Recently, statistics would state otherwise but this is a perfect time to fade the public that have been going in on San Antonio in the early going as the Lakers seemingly can play with any team in the league this season. The last two meetings between both parties was settled by a total of eight points overall, immense value here on the Lakers.
Free Pick:
Los Angeles Lakers +7
