The Lakers are 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games in San Antonio and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against the Spurs overall. The under has hit in 19 of the last 26 games between these two. My pick is with the Lakers to cover following a bad showing on Christmas day. The Lakers will have a gut-check performance today against the Spurs.
