<p>The Los Angeles Lakers have experience of winning the NBA Cup, having won the inaugural competition. They’ll be seeking to win this in-season tournament for the second time in three years and have been solid so far.</p> <p>They’ll take on the San Antonio Spurs for the right to advance to the last four this year, having managed to go unbeaten in the group phase. Will they keep this going and avoid slipping up to <strong>Victor Wembanyama</strong> and co? We’ll find out on Thursday, December 11, when LA hosts the Spurs at 14:00 AEDT.</p> <p>We’ve made some of our best Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs betting predictions below about what we think could happen when these two in-form Western Conference clubs meet. Read on to see what we think!</p> <h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs: Betting Preview</h2> <p>As highlighted, both teams have been in positive form this season across the NBA. The Lakers sit second in the West, behind the unstoppable Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs aren’t too far behind them in the standings, making this a truly intriguing contest between two of the NBA’s best.</p> <p>When looking at the head-to-head between these two teams, there’s a notable story: the Purple &amp; Gold are often victors. Over the last five games, the Lakers are 4-1. Results have included:</p> <ul> <li>Nov 2025: Lakers 118-116 Spurs</li> <li>Mar 2025: Lakers 125-109 Spurs</li> <li>Jan 2025: Lakers 102-126 Spurs</li> <li>Nov 2024: Spurs 101-119 Lakers</li> <li>Nov 2024: Spurs 115-120 Lakers</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The most recent clash between the two teams was extremely close, highlighting just how well both teams have been playing this season.</p> <p><strong>Luka Doncic</strong> continued to show how much of a star he is and why he is one of the GOATs in the game, as he fell just one rebound short of a triple-double. He had 35 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds. <strong>Deandre Ayton</strong> was the next-best in terms of points scored for the Lakers, as he had 22 points.<strong> Marcus Smart</strong> (17 points) and<strong> Rui Hachimura</strong> (15) also contributed.</p> <p><strong>Victor Wembanyama</strong> led the Spurs with 19 points and eight rebounds, but their star man couldn’t help buck the trend that has been experienced against Los Angeles.</p> <h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba/san-antonio-spurs-at-los-angeles-lakers-9898415">Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs betting odds</a> have the<strong> Lakers as the outright favourite</strong> to win. Given the recent H2H, we also <strong>predict that the Lakers will win</strong>.</p> <p>We think there is value in the<strong> ‘Los Angeles Lakers 11+’</strong> bet available in the <strong>‘Big Win Little Win’</strong> market. Games aren’t usually as tight as the one played earlier this season, with the points margin often significant.</p> <p>With <strong>Doncic</strong> and<strong> Austin Reaves</strong> on form and <strong>LeBron James</strong> back, the Lakers should have too much for <strong>Wembanyama</strong> and the Spurs to handle.</p>
