BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 8 of San Antonio's last 12 games.

San Antonio are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

San Antonio are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games against LA Lakers.

The total has gone OVER in 11 of LA Lakers' last 15 games against San Antonio.

LA Lakers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of LA Lakers' last 5 games.

LA Lakers are 0-5 SU in their last 5 games.

 

Prediction

The Spurs have been great offensively and are scoring an average of 114 points per game but they have struggled on the road against the Lakers . The Lakers have been awful offensively averaging only 102 points per game and haven't win a game yet and what could be one of the worst starts of the season ever. Honestly I don't get this spread, the Spurs have been by far a better team so far which is confusing so I think the best play is the over. The over has cashed in 11 of the last 15 head to head games.
