San Antonio has won its last six games against Los Angeles by an average of 19.1 points, including last season\u2019s first-round playoff sweep, which is important to consider when making your NBA betting picks.\u00a0 The Spurs have three of five probable starters averaging double figures, with point guard Tony Parker leading the way at 17.5 points a contest.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that he\u2019s the only member of the roster averaging more than 30 minutes per game.\u00a0 San Antonio is 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS in March, with the OVER going 5-3 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Spurs are 24-8 SU on the road this season, including a 13-5 mark versus Western Conference opponents, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the NBA betting lines.\u00a0 San Antonio is riding a current 10-game winning streak, while it owns the distinction of being the only franchise in the league to be 10-or-more games above .500 in both home and road games.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles had dropped its last two games, including a 119-85 setback to the Spurs as 17.5-point road underdogs last time out.\u00a0 The Lakers have two of five probable starters averaging double figures, with center Pau Gasol leading the way at 17.7 points per game\u2014finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds in his last affair.\u00a0 The franchise is a dismal 11-20 SU when playing at the Staples Center, but eight of those wins have come against conference rivals.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 2-4 SU and 4-2 ATS when playing with three or more days rest this season.<\/p>\n

The Lakers are 3-7 SU in their last 10 regular season games against the Spurs, while they\u2019ve gone 12-15 SU in this series in non-postseason match ups at this venue.\u00a0 Los Angeles ranks 12th in the league in scoring 101.8 points per game, but sits 29th in surrendering 108.4 points a contest.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the UNDER is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings in this rivalry.<\/p>\n
