PREVIEW

The Spurs and Lakers meet at Crypto.com Arena, separated by 2.5 games in the Western standings.

The Lakers have won both previous matchups this season, claiming consecutive road wins, and will now look to extend their three-game home winning streak against the Spurs.

The Lakers were most recently upset 118-97 by Dallas at American Airlines Center, despite LeBron James’ 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. This was before their last two games were postponed due to wildfires.

San Antonio fell 121-105 to Milwaukee at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday, despite Keldon Johnson’s strong performance of 24 points and 11 rebounds. The Spurs have now lost three straight games, and Jeremy Sochan is questionable for this matchup as they look to snap their losing streak.
