Prediction for the NBA match between San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers, which will take place on November 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

San Antonio

The Spurs have found their stride and won four games in a row. That streak started in San Antonio, where the team beat Oklahoma (110-104), Utah (126-118) and Golden State (104-94). They continued their winning streak in Salt Lake City, where the Spurs defeated Utah again (128-115).

It's worth noting that only two of the four games during this stretch were played with Victor Wembanyama. Even without their main big man, the Spurs still outplay Western Conference leader Oklahoma. In terms of the standings, San Antonio has already reached the tenth line in the Western Conference, which puts it in the play-in zone.

LA Lakers

Overall, the Lakers are having a solid first half of the season, sitting in sixth place in the Western Conference. The win-loss record is 10-7. However, J.J. Reddick's team has recently stumbled into some difficulties. So, they are coming to the match in San Antonio with a series of three consecutive defeats. First, the Lakers lost at home to Orlando (118:119) and Denver (102:127), and then they were beaten on the road against Phoenix (100:127).

Regarding the game characteristics, the Lakers haven't been able to get their defense up to speed. On average, the Los Angeles team concedes 116.9 points per game. To give you a frame of reference, San Antonio averages 109.2 points per game.

Expert Betting Tips

In the first meeting between the two teams this season, which took place on November 16, the Lakers defeated San Antonio 120-115 at home. We wouldn't bet on the outcome just yet. The Spurs have upped their game, while Los Angeles had theirs worsened. We think the next game will be just as productive. Once again, the Lakers are still struggling defensively, but their offense is one of the league's best. For the same reason, we're going to bet on the total over of assists.
