Lebron James is coming off a 56 point performance in a win over Golden State on Saturday, and he’ll look to continue that momentum heading into Monday night’s visit to San Antonio. The Lakers need every win they can get right now.
The Spurs would like a win too, as their four game losing streak has coach Gregg Popovich stuck on 1,334 regular season wins, still one shy of tying Don Nelson for the all-time record.
Los Angeles Lakers
Saturday night’s victory over the Warriors was huge for the Lakers to snap a four game losing streak, but at the same time Golden State was struggling too as they are now just 2-8 over their last 10.
James was solid with 56 points on 19-31 shooting while also adding 10 rebounds. Russell Westbrook added 20, the first time he’s broken the 20-point scoring barrier since January 30th.
Now the Lakers try to make it two wins in a row, something they haven’t done since January 2nd. This is the fourth meeting of the season with San Antonio, with the last one being a 136-110 Spurs win at the then-named Staples Center.
L.A has also tallied a 125-121 OT win over the Spurs and also beat them 114-106.
San Antonio Spurs
San Antonio will likely rely on Dejounte Murray to try to break their losing skid and move Popovich into a tie for the regular season win record. Murray was a rebound shy of a triple double in Saturday’s 123-117 loss to Charlotte.
Murray did have a 31/13/14 triple double in San Antonio’s last win, but that also came in a 157-153 win over the Wizards in 2OT. He also had just 9 points when the Spurs beat L.A on December 23rd, but San Antonio also got 23 points from Derrick White who has since been traded.
Murray does have some help from Keldon Johnson, who has improved in each of his first three seasons in the league. Johnson has gone for 30+ in two of his last four games, but the Lakers have also been pretty solid vs. the SF spot over their last five games.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Prediction:
It looks like oddsmakers are setting the bait in this one with the Spurs being -2 point favorites. The Lakers win over Golden State in a nationally televised game is fresh in bettors’ minds, especially with the 56-point outing from James.
San Antonio is favored at home despite being on a four game losing skid? That just seems off, which likely means the Spurs do pick up the win and the cover in this meeting.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Spurs -2
San Antonio is in a bit of a skid, but they also have the talent to take this meeting behind Murray and the red hot Johnson. The Spurs kick off a 7-game home stand which means Popovich should get the regular season win record in front of his own fans.
