San Antonio at Los Angeles

San Antonio winds up an eight-game road trip here. After beating the Clippers at the Staples Center Friday, they have less incentive to put out a big effort against the Lakers. They've failed to cover four of the last five against teams with winning percentages below 40. San Antonio is second in the NBA in points allowed and on an 8-2 run UNDER the total. The young Los Angeles Lakers are delighted to be home after playing 10 of the last 12 on the road. Los Angeles is 10-4-1 UNDER the total at home following a road trip of seven or more days. The Lakers are 7-3 ATS after a defeat, plus 7-3 ATS after allowing 100+ points in their previous game. Play the Lakers and UNDER the total.
