Why the Lakers are capable of covering?
The Lakers were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA last season, but after rebuilding their roster, they aren’t stopping opponents as well. Because of injuries to guards and wings alike, big-name acquisitions like Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony are seeing a lot of action. Both can be explosive on offensively, but they’ve been a part of the Lakers’ bottom-ten scoring defence, which has been hampered by an unimpressive centre rotation.
Why the Spurs are capable of covering?
The Spurs are still in the midst of what could be a protracted rebuilding process, but they are off to a strong start. Before losing to the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks, San Antonio blew out the Orlando Magic. Both opponents are very likely postseason contenders, and the Spurs have fallen by at least six points in each encounter.

The model predicts that the teams will combine for 221 points, which is a slight underestimation. It has also produced a spread pick that has struck in well over 60% of simulations. SportsLine is the only place where you can see the pick.
