San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers: Current situation
It’s all about development of young players for San Antonio this season, particularly their big man Victor Wembanyama who enters his sophomore year after winning the Rookie of the Year award. All of that has been brushed to the side after the Spurs announced their head coach Gregg Popovich had a mild stroke earlier this month, the team has been taken over by his assist staff during his absence. San Antonio hopes to at least make it into the play-in tournament this year, they are doing well now winning 6 of their first 12 games of the season.
The Lakers have bigger goals in mind and they are not shying away from the challenge. New head coach JJ Redick has implemented his strategies on both ends and it’s worked so far. The Lakers are a solid 7-4 over the first 11 games, good enough for 6th place in the Western Conference. LeBron James continues to amaze even at the age of 39, he just had his 3rd consecutive triple-double which makes him the oldest player ever to achieve that feat.
San Antonio Spurs Stats & Form
The Spurs were just involved in a 139-130 win over the Washington Wizards which pushed their record to 6-6 overall and 5-2 at home. Victor Wembanyama scored a career high 50 points, including 8 threes made. San Antonio is one of the more pleasant surprises to start the season, bringing in veterans like Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes has done wonders for the development of the younger players. With a potential win on Friday, the Spurs will go over the .500 mark for the first time this season.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
Can anything slow down LeBron James? That’s what people are wondering after his latest triple-double performance in the 128-123 win over Memphis. He might no longer have the athleticism like he used to, but James is still a difference maker for the Lakers on most nights. Anthony Davis also returned to the line-up following a injury, he scored 21 and grabbed 14 rebounds in the win. With a somewhat softer schedule coming up, it would be no surprise if the Lakers got to 10-4 over their next 3 games.
San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers: Head to Head
Long gone are the days of the early 2000s when the Spurs and Lakers were battling for Western Conference supremacy. However, with the amount of talent on both teams right now, it’s always a fun match-up. This will be the first of four meetings this season, last year the teams met up 3 times with the Lakers coming out on top twice. The only Spurs victory happened at the AT&T Center, thanks to a 36-point night from Devin Vassell.

Betting tip and prediction: San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers (15.11.2024)
Undoubtedly, this game will be decided on the interior as the two big men battle it out. Anthony Davis might not have the size and length of Victor Wembanyama, but he has the necessary experience which should give him a slight edge in this match-up. One of the things the Lakers have struggled with is transition defense, but luckily for them San Antonio is one of the slower teams in the NBA. They average just 12.1 fastbreak points per game, so that’s another edge for the Lakers in this match-up. LA has dominated San Antonio with 6 wins in 7 meetings, plus they are 8-2 SU in their last 10 visits to Frost Bank Center. With both AD and LeBron healthy and producing big numbers, we feel like the Spurs inexperience will show here, which is why we are backing the Lakers to cover the spread.
