San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Spurs in the underdog role is appealing when you consider this start, but at some point all of their injuries catch up to them, and now we’re seeing Dylan Harper on the report as well. The Lakers are playing great ball despite their issues, and that includes a 6-2 SU and ATS record. Obviously, I’d like to see the status of Reaves before locking in something, but this chalk is soft. I have to lean Lakers with the way they keep finding ways to win regular season games dating back to last season.
