The San Antonio Spurs head to Los Angeles looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season to Phoenix. They’ll be short on depth with Dylan Harper sidelined and several others uncertain, but could get some help if Jeremy Sochan, Kelly Olynyk, or Lindy Waters III return.
The Lakers, meanwhile, are on a four‑game win streak despite missing LeBron James. Luka Doncic is set to play, and Austin Reaves is questionable. Both have been putting up huge numbers, making this an early‑season test for San Antonio.
Game Details
Luka Doncic has been the centerpiece of the Lakers’ attack, with the ball in his hands on nearly every trip. His ability to score from deep, punish mismatches, and get to the line makes 30+ points a realistic expectation most nights.
For San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama often gets the first look thanks to his size and the Spurs’ tendency to script an opening play for him. Winning the tip gives him a strong chance to strike early before the defense settles.
The Lakers’ offense should set the tone. With Luka Doncic driving possessions and Austin Reaves potentially adding playmaking, Los Angeles can control tempo and win key half‑court stretches even without LeBron. San Antonio’s depth is thin with Dylan Harper out, so early minutes matter. If Jeremy Sochan, Kelly Olynyk, or Lindy Waters III play, the Spurs can stabilize and lean on Wembanyama for quick touches and rim pressure. Expect a competitive start, but late-game shot creation favors the Lakers by a few possessions.
