Key
Player Matchups
This matchup features a clash of young talent and veteran savvy, with the Spurs’ depth testing the Lakers’ depleted roster. Victor Wembanyama (averaging high blocks and points) will likely anchor the paint against Anthony Davis or Deandre Ayton (if active), potentially limiting LA’s interior scoring.
Stephon Castle, coming off a 40-point triple-double, could exploit the backcourt without Luka Doncic, facing off against Austin Reaves or D’Angelo Russell.
LeBron James (20+ PPG recently) will need to carry the offense against Harrison Barnes or Keldon Johnson.
The Spurs’ rebounding edge (led by Wembanyama) favors them over the Lakers’ 40.3 RPG average. Overall, San Antonio’s efficiency (around 118 PPG projected) should prevail against LA’s defense, ranked mid-tier.
