Los Angeles Lakers at San Antonio Spurs Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in San Antonio.

The Lakers have rebounded from a difficult run over Christmas, while the Spurs have gone cold as they deal with injuries and continue to limit the minutes of Victor Wembanyama.

  • Los Angeles Lakers are 4-1 in their last 5 games
  • San Antonio Spurs are 2-4 in their last 6 games
  • The Under has cashed in 6 of San Antonio’s last 7 games
  • The Under has hit in 5 of Los Angeles’ previous 6 games

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 133-117
  • San Antonio Spurs won 132-119 when the two teams last met on December 10

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles head straight to San Antonio having won for the fourth time in five games just last night.

The Lakers endured a season-worst run last month as they lost three games in a row, starting with defeats at the LA Clippers, 103-88, and Phoenix, 132-108.

They then fell 119-96 at home to Houston on Christmas Day, before avoiding a fourth consecutive loss as they took down Sacramento, 125-101.

Los Angeles failed to build on that as they wrapped up 2025 with a 128-107 defeat to Detroit, but they are yet to lose in 2026.

The Lakers began the year with back-to-back home wins over Memphis, beating the Grizzlies 128-121 and 120-114, and followed that up with a 111-103 win in New Orleans last night. 

San Antonio Spurs Form

San Antonio enter this matchup having lost just last night – their fourth defeat in the space of six games.

The Spurs were on a roll in December as they reeled off eight consecutive wins, including three successes against defending champions Oklahoma City.

They beat the Thunder 111-109 on the road, and then downed OKC 130-110 at home on December 23 and 117-102 on the road on Christmas Day.

San Antonio’s streak was ended by a 127-114 loss to Utah and a 113-101 defeat to Cleveland, but they rebounded to close out 2025 with a 134-132 win over New York.

The Spurs then kicked off 2026 with a 123-113 victory in Indiana, but they have not been able to back that up, losing 115-110 to Portland and 106-105 in Memphis.

Verdict

Los Angeles have cut the gap between them and San Antonio in recent days, and they can cut it by another game here.

The Lakers have some momentum heading into this matchup, while the injury-hit Spurs have been stacking up losses over the past several days.
