Team Betting Preview: Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers enter at 17–6, holding the No. 2 seed in the West. They defeated San Antonio 118–116 in their lone previous meeting, and they are undefeated (4–0) in NBA Cup play. LeBron James’ recent return has boosted the offense, with a season-high 29 points in Sunday’s win at Philadelphia.

- San Antonio shot 47.2% from deep (17-of-36) without Wembanyama on Monday.
