Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 14-33
Time goes by and nothing changes for the San Antonio Spurs, who, despite occasionally giving one good performance now and then, remain at the bottom of the Western Conference. The team is not the last in the standings because of the three win difference they have with the Houston Rockets.
The Spurs have achieved only two wins in their last ten games played after falling at home to the Portland Trail Blazers by a 127-147 score, and despite going into halftime with an even score. Keldon Johnson was once again one of the team’s best players, scoring 20 points during the game.
The Spurs are one of the worst teams in the league offensively with an average of 113.1 points scored per game, and they have been terrible on defense, averaging 122.0 points allowed per game, which is the worst figure in the NBA..
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 22-26
Until Anthony Davis returns, things don’t seem to be able to work within the Los Angeles Lakers team. Anthony, who is suffering from a right foot injury, should be available in early February. Meanwhile, the team has fought as hard as possible, but has failed to register the results necessary to at least get into the playoff spots.
Perhaps playing at home could give the Californian team some confidence to achieve a positive result, considering that it is at home where they have looked their best. They have obtained 12 of their 22 wins at home, and they have shown to have a very steady offense, with an average of 118.1 points scored per game.
However, the Lakers were not able to take advantage of that home advantage last night. LeBron James had a great 46-point performance, but it was not enough to even put up a fight in a 133-115 loss against the Los Angeles Clippers. This was the tenth loss in a row the team has suffered against their neighbors.
JefeBet Prediction
Although their best moments have come at home, the Lakers have not been able to fully fix their defensive shortcomings, averaging 115.0 points allowed, something that even an inconsistent Spurs offense will be able to take advantage of.
Moreover, the Lakers will have to face this game after playing on the previous night, something that does nothing but make their situation worse. Previously, they have averaged 130.1 points against when they have played without being able to rest. However, they will face the Spurs, owners of the worst defense in the NBA, so it is certain that LeBron James, who averages 29.8 points per game, will find a way to do some damage.
Considering the serious defensive problems of both sides, and that the Spurs have covered the Over in 14 of their 21 away games this campaign, we expect to see a wide-open, high-scoring game.
Prediction: Over.
