Smart Game Analysis
Los Angeles Lakers has a 78% chance of winning the game
The Lakers are poised to dominate at home with a significant rest advantage against a Spurs team playing on the second night of a back-to-back without Victor Wembanyama.
Key Analysis
- • San Antonio star Victor Wembanyama is confirmed out with a calf injury, removing their primary rim protector.
- • The Spurs are fatigued after playing a high-scoring game against the Pelicans yesterday, while the Lakers have not played since December 7.
- • Lakers guard Luka Doncic is in peak form, averaging 35.0 points per game and coming off a triple-double against Philadelphia.
- • Los Angeles has dominated the recent head-to-head history, winning 8 of the last 10 matchups including a victory earlier this season.
- • The Spurs defense allows 115.3 points per game and will struggle to contain the Lakers' top-10 offense without their defensive anchor.
- • San Antonio must rely heavily on De'Aaron Fox and rookie Dylan Harper to match the Lakers' scoring firepower.
