Spread Pick: San Antonio Spurs wins with handicap -8 at 1.90 Over/Under: Over 208.5 1.90 Bet Now!
There are plenty of great NBA games to look out for on Friday the 14th of November as the NBA swings into action for the weekend but one of the biggest games of the day comes with the San Antonio Spurs travelling to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers.
The Spurs have found things a bit difficult as the reigning champions but they will receive absolutely no sympathy from their hosts. The Lakers have endured a torrid start to the campaign and the Lakers players may have mixed feelings about the game. There will be some players thinking that they have nothing to lose. No one expects them to take anything from the champions so why shouldn’t they get stuck in and see what happens. There will be other players who feel that the fragile confidence of the team doesn’t need a mauling at the hands of a team who are desperate to find form themselves.
You may find out a lot about how this match will go on from the initial attitude of the Lakers team. If they come out full of energy and keen to stamp their impression on the game, it could be a battle between two teams looking for a lift. Alternatively, if there is fear and meekness in the approach of the Lakers, it could be another disappointing night to join a catalogue of disappointment in Los Angeles this season.

The Spurs record is on the up
The Spurs have a 4-3 record overall and a 2-2 record away from home while the Lakers are currently standing with a 1-7 record, with a 1-3 record at home, which is a horrendous record for any team let alone the Lakers. With the Spurs clocking up back to back victories, there is finally a sense that the team is getting back to the form of last season and a win in this game will offer up a tremendous amount of confidence to the San Antonio team. There is a great deal to be said for momentum in basketball and two wins on the trot, with the potential to make it three, could be the platform that the Spurs need to get motoring this season.
The Lakers need Kobe Bryant to be at his best
The Lakers suffered a 109-102 loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday night but with Kobe Bryant grabbing 33 points, there is a feeling that the Lakers aren’t a million miles away from turning defeats into wins. However, there is still a lot of work to do to turn the Lakers season around and this game may have come too soon for Los Angeles to make an impact.
The Overs/Under market is sitting at 1.90 for Over 208.5 and this is the best that you should be looking on. Even though both teams haven’t been on great form this campaign, there have been plenty of points scored in the games. Of course, plenty of these points have been scored against the Lakers and this is why the spread pick has to favour the Spurs. With odds of 1.90 for the Spurs at -8, there is a real chance to benefit from the shaky start that the Lakers have made to the 2014/15 NBA campaign. Bet Now!
