San Antonio at Los Angeles

The Lakers have watched their roster become depleted with each passing game and now adds Metta World Peace to the list of injured players. The Lakers have no choice now, but to make this a halfcourt game to the nth degree and shoot deep into the shot clock and try to get the ball inside to the only two players they essentially have left, Gasol and Howard. The Spurs will play defense they always do and it is likely they try and run the Lakers out of will in the first half so they can rest starters and move on with the sweep. This one could get ugly fast and will likely be defensive early. Play on the first half UNDER.
