It's the second night of a back-to-back for both teams. San Antonio continues to play hard for Gregg Popovich. Over the last three games, they won at Toronto, 122-99 as a +6 underdog, and come off a 127-122 loss at Sacramento as a double-digit dog. The Spurs rallied from an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit at Sacramento to take a 117-116 with 2:53 remaining. These teams met in December and the Spurs won, 129-115, as a +6.5 dog. Los Angeles got crushed at Golden State last night, 128-110, and comes home from a two-game trip. LeBron James missed the game with a sore ankle and may be back for this one. The Lakers are 30-43 ATS after playing a road game, plus 56-85 ATS off a road loss to a division rival. The Lakers are 19th in the NBA in points given up and 21st at defending the 3-pointer, while the offense is 17th from the charity stripe. They're also 142-183 ATS as a double-digit favorite. Los Angeles is 4-2 straight up in its last six home games, losing to Denver (114-106) along with a 130-112 loss to Brooklyn as a 7-point favorite. Play San Antonio + on the moneyline.
