The San Antonio Spurs (28-38) visit the Los Angeles Lakers (40-25) on Monday, March 17, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers finally put an end to a four-game skid with a much-needed 107-96 win over Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. Austin Reaves scored 28 points and dished out 6 assists, extending his streak of at least 28 points to three games.
Luka Doncic played almost 40 minutes against the Suns, which is a positive sign for his availability. He did sit out the second leg of the Lakers' most recent back-to-back schedule. But with the Lakers in need of momentum, Luka might be permitted to play against the Spurs.
But even if Luka doesn't play, the Lakers are still favored to beat the Spurs. After all, this is a team without their top two stars, Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox. It also doesn't help that the Spurs have produced a lowly 132.8 defensive rating in the last six games.
LeBron James and Rui Hachimura will again sit out the Spurs game. However, there is a high probability that Luka plays in this game, even if it's the second night of a back-to-back. A Luka sighting is enough for the Lakers to defeat the Spurs.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction
The Spurs are arguably focused on draft lottery positioning when they announced the season-ending injuries to both Wembanyama and Fox. Their defense has been paltry in the last six games, a weakness that the Lakers' Doncic and Reaves could take advantage of.
The Lakers also lead the regular season series against the Spurs, 2-1. This is looking like another Lakers win, especially if Doncic plays. Our prediction for the Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs match is: Lakers (-9.5) cover the spread.Grab an extra $300 for your Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs wager!
