San Antonio vs Lakers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA

Command Analysis

Spurs are trying to rebuild, but young players are lacking experience so far and Gregg Popovich needs more time. It is hard to expect victories over top opponents from this team, but we shouldn't underestimate the Spurs.
San Antonio started the season with a confident victory over Oklahoma (123:97), but everything was not so good since then. In the next game Spurs were beaten by Denver (96:102) and then team suffered a defeat to Milwaukee (111:121).

LeBron James and his partners disappointed everyone with their performance in preseason matches and at the start of the regular season, but, as it was expected, winless streak come to an end in the previous game. One of the title contenders is finally starting to gain form.
After two consecutive defeats Lakers chose an offensive strategy. Frank Vogel's men had some problems, but eventually they took the 121:118 victory over Memphis at home. 37-year old Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points in this game.
