I’m on the Lakers moneyline in the road game vs the Spurs for these reasons:

- Back to back road games for the Lakers, but also a back to back spot for the Spurs who just won a 128 - 115 game vs the Jazz in Utah. Lakers are on a losing streak and it’s going to end here be a team they’ve only lost to 1 time in the last 3 seasons, including how they beat them in November by 5.

- Spurs have had success defensively this season, but this game has a lot at stake with the Lakers being 10-7 and the spurs being 10-8. The lakers have to play the OKC Thunder on Friday, and that will be a tougher western opponent to play than the spurs, so I expect urgency from LA to get this win before playing a tougher western conference opponent this weekend.

- 21st in scoring isn’t going to cut it, Spurs. We need to see more efficient from this young team. Our money can be trusted with the veteran leadership of the Lakers and the Best player in the NBA. This is solely a “Lakers need this” bet.
