These betting lines that seem too good to be true make me wonder. I can't see why the Spurs would be favored. |
They changed it, the Lakers are now favored. |
I'm seeing the spread currently at EVEN. |
The Lakers were favored by -1 like 5 minutes ago, I’m guessing Vegas is still getting fans to bet on the game so that’s why it’s changing. |
Yeah the line will be constantly on the flux depending on where people are laying money but it should be around even or so I would expect. We're a better team, but not very good on the road and SA is not a very good team, but plays better at home. |

We are 5-5 on the road that is actually very solid especially considering how much Impact refs have on games when it comes to the road in regards to the Lakers, Spurs should be tanking for Zion Williamson he’s the closest to a Tim Duncan prospect they will find. |

I think a basically even line is pretty fair
I'm staying away

Spurs (and Pop) don't want to tank. If they did, they would not have traded for Derozan and instead for a more rebuilding friendly package.
And yes, we are 5-5 on the road and the Spurs are 7-4 at home. We're probably better than 5-5 and they're probably not as good as 7-4 so, an EVEN spread makes sense. |

| It’s funny, when SA was winning...these past two decades...pop was an evil grumpy genius. Now, he just seems like a old rude jerk. |

Watch out for Aldridge this game. He not only went under Ingram, but also Lebron in the third. Dirty player under Pop's regime isn't surprising (people are saying that's why Kawhi bailed) but def don't want Lebron injured in a meaningless regular season game.

Luke needs to stagger Lebron and Lonzo so at least one of them are on the court at all times.

Its very possible. They just beat the Spurs and the Grizzlies will be on a back to back too. The Grizzlies record is good but I looked at who they have beat and their schedule has been pretty soft. |

Saw grizzlies a bit last week and it’s what you expect...a grind it out, drag in the mud defensive struggle. They don’t separate well offensively but they defend all game long.
Jackson is a very tough cover.
If the Lakers show up, they won’t get blown out but it’s going to be one of those low scoring, grind it out games on their floor. |

Should get out to a good start with Hart if he can stay out of foul trouble. He can be a little cracky with the fouls |

As long as Hart doesn’t get in foul trouble, he’ll do great. Hopefully none of our starters for that matter, get in foul trouble. Avoid that Beasley/Lance combo as much as possible. 
Maybe we’ll get a nice Bonga surprise?
