San Antonio at Los Angeles

This will be a good early test for both teams as the 5-1 San Antonio Spurs head to LA to take on the 6-2 Lakers. These teams are hitting 50% from the field, and both teams have been similar defensively. The Spurs are coming off their first loss of the season, and sometimes that creates a letdown. A team that starts the season 5-0 and then suffers a loss covers just 38.5% of all games. The Lakers must be feeling good, having won and covered each of their last four games, shooting better than 50% in each of them. A team that has won and covered four straight games, playing as a home favorite vs. a team with a better record, is 39-20 ATS. I'm backing the Lakers here to cover.
