Tuesday’s Best NBA Summer League Picks: Lakers vs. Spurs
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Summer League Picks
After laying an egg in their NBA Summer League opener, the Spurs were determined to put forth a better effort against the Warriors. Golden State had already defeated the Lakers and went on to win 90-88. David Jones-Garcia led the way with 25 points, followed by Omari Moore with 13.
As for the Lakers, they bounced back from a loss in the opener to Golden State (89-84) to record a dominant 103-83 win over the Miami Heat. Several players turned in solid performances, like Cole Swider (20 points), DJ Steward (14 points) and Darius Bazley (16 points and nine rebounds).
I might be more inclined to get behind the Spurs if we knew if Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant would play, but we just don't know. Combine that uncertainty with the likelihood that they don't shoot from three-point range anywhere near as well this time (11-for-28, 39.3% vs. Golden State; 6-for-32, 18.8% vs. Miami), and it is hard to see the Spurs keeping up.
Pick: Lakers -6.5 (-110)
