Preview

San Antonio Spurs will meet Los Angeles Lakers on Monday in San Antonio, this will be the fourth game between them this season as Lakers won first 2 games by an average of 6 points win a game and then the Spurs won by 28 points in their most recent game.

Los Angeles Lakers have played probably their best game this season Vs the Warriors in last game with the historic 56 points and 10 rebounds from LeBron James, Malik Monk and Austin Reeves played a really good game too and Westbrook played better than usual. They Lakers are currently sitting as the 9th seed and will be seeking the 8th seed for a better play in position so they can't lose that many games again for the rest of the season.

San Antonio Spurs haven't been playing well lately as they are coming off 6 points loss to Charlotte Hornets last game which puts them on 4 game losing streak, they are currently the 12th seed with 3 games behind the 10th seed New Orleans Pelicans so they will also be eager to win this game to have a chance to get to the play in tournament but they will have to play better than they have been to have a chance here.

San Antonio Spurs are 1-4 ATS last 5 games and 2-6 ATS last 8 home games, the total have gone under in last 5 Monday games for the Spurs and also the total have gone under in 6 of last 9 games for San Antonio this season, but the total have gone Over in 4 of last 5 games between Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs.

Los Angeles Lakers are 1-4 ATS and Straight up last 5 games this season, they are also 6-3 ATS last 9 games Vs the Spurs and 7-2 straight up. The total have gone under in 4 of last 6 games for the Lakers this season and the Lakers are 5-0 straight up when playing on the road vs San Antonio Spurs.

Head to Head

Los Angeles Lakers have been playing well Vs the Spurs lately as they are 7-3 Straight up and 6-4 ATS last 10 games Vs San Antonio, the O/U is 6-4 with the Lakers averaging 115.4 points and San Antonio Spurs averaging 112.8 points a game.

Prediction

I like the Lakers to take the momentum from the last win over the Warriors and get it going here. LeBron James, Austin Reeves, Malik Monk and Stanley Johnson all played great in this game with a lot of effort and hustle which we haven't seen from the Lakers in a long time, Lakers are trying to make a push for that 8th place to get a better play in position and they are well rested so they should be good to go here.

Pick: LA Lakers +2 (-110)
