Spurs vs Lakers tonight at 08:30: Wembanyama returns, and the Lakers have no answer inside
Head-to-head numbers from the last five meetings, starters and the injury report, all in one place.
Wembanyama plays his first game back, and it’s against the Lakers. The teams have split their two meetings this season; the third is in San Antonio, 08:30 tonight Taiwan time.
The Lakers’ problem is specific: who guards Wembanyama? Over the last five meetings they have conceded 9.4 more points in the paint with him on the floor. Expect doubles and rotations tonight, betting that San Antonio’s shooting goes cold.
Starters and injuries
Spurs: Wembanyama returns, Vassell doubtful. Lakers: fully fit, though Reaves has played over 36 minutes in five straight games, which makes the fourth quarter a question.
We don’t publish odds or lines. For anyone who wants to run their own numbers, the per-game table for this season’s meetings is at the bottom of this piece.
