The LA Lakers won last night vs New Orleans, and they are looking at playing LeBron James in back-to-back games for the first time this season. The Lakers had to rally in the fourth quarter to get the 8-point win, and James played 30 minutes. San Antonio isn't as soft as New Orleans. The Lakers are allowing opponents to shoot 49% overall and 38% from deep, and with the Spurs at home, I think LA is in trouble, even if Lebron gets significant minutes playing in back-to-back games for the first time. This is a busy stretch for the Lakers, as they play five games in eight days. I think the Lakers may have trouble finding their legs in this one, and San Antonio is 9-2 to the UNDER in their last 11 games. Make the play UNDER the total.
