NBA Betting Preview: Los Angeles Lakers at San Antonio Spurs
Los Angeles Lakers +6.5 at San Antonio Spurs
The Los Angeles Lakers (27-12 SU, 22-16 ATS) may have a better record than the San Antonio Spurs (26-13 SU, 19-20 ATS), but NBA odds makers have still made the 2007 NBA Champions San Antonio Spurs listed as favorites to win the game SU. However, it might be difficult for the San Antonio Spurs to cover the -6.5 point spread, considering that the LA Lakers are on winning form.
The LA Lakers are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games, but they have been slipping against the spread, going 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. The good news, however, is that the LA Lakers have been remarkable on the road, going 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on the road and going 5-0 SU on their last 5 road games.
The San Antonio Spurs have been solid playing at home, and are 21-4 in its last 25 games at home. However, the San Antonio Spurs have not been showing much consistency, going 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games.
With key players like Trevor Ariza and Andrew Bynum absent from the LA Lakers roster due to injuries, the LA Lakers may have some gaps to fill. Mostly, the LA Lakers are reliant on their super-star Kobe Bryant, but other players have to step up their game like Ronnie Turiaf, Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom. Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs key players are all healthy with the likes of Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan giving the San Antonio Spurs a lot of boost in the win column.
