Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
Assuming the Lakers do get LeBron James back from injury on Friday, picking the Los Angeles both straight up and against the spread feels like the play.
The Lakers are coming off that loss to Phoenix, but the team had started to put the pieces together ahead of that one, and adding James back to the rotation can only help.
Keep an eye on James’ status, but the Lakers could get a convincing win on the road.
