<p><em>Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs have vital rest time ahead of their clash with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, February 11, at 14:30 AEDT.</em></p> <p>It could be a game in which we see two of the top stars in the NBA take on each other, although there's some doubt about whether Luka Doncic will be available. Still, we could also see LeBron James step out on the court against Wemby.</p> <p>Read on for our Lakers vs Spurs prediction as we preview this game and look for potential betting value in the odds being offered…</p> <h2>Quick Picks</h2> <p><strong>Our pick: </strong>Spurs to win</p> <p><strong>Value bet: </strong>Wembanyama to have 20+ points</p> <p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Spurs to win by 11+ points</p> <h2>Betting Preview</h2> <p>The San Antonio Spurs will have some rare rest, as they last played on Sunday. They won that game against the Dallas Mavericks, helping to put them on a win-streak of four games. They are one of the form teams in the NBA, and are catching up with OKC at the top of the Western Conference.</p> <p>Those four wins have been against the Orlando Magic, OKC, and two against the Mavs. Each win has been by 9+ points, with the two against the Mavs by a margin of 12 and 13.</p> <p>The Lakers will have played against the Thunder before their encounter with the Spurs, which could have a big say on how this game ends up. As noted, Doncic is questionable with an injury that is being evaluated on a daily basis, but with some rest, he could be ready for this one.</p> <p>They'll need their superstar, as the head-to-head record isn't favourable. The Purple &amp; Gold have lost the last two matches, including one last month, 107-91. That was in Texas, but when playing in LA, they're 2-2 over the last four.</p> <h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2> <p>Is the H2H record between the two teams and how well the Lakers have performed at home worth taking into consideration when looking for value in the betting markets and odds being offered?</p> <p>Indeed, we think there are a few things worth exploring here. If you're new to <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-on-the-nba">how to bet on the NBA</a>, this matchup offers some interesting angles.</p> <p>Firstly, we think that the Spurs will benefit from the extended break and could be worth value in the <strong>Big Win Little Win market.</strong> When the Spurs win, they often win by a large margin, which is why we think the <strong>Spurs to win by 11+ is worth a long shot</strong>. All three of their most recent H2H wins have surpassed this margin.</p> <p>There may be value to find in the <strong>handicap market with this game</strong>, and how it can go either way. We think that the Spurs will cover the line that is set, given that they are on a four-game winning-streak, while also being 7-3 in the last 10 and 16-10 on the road.</p> <h2>Our Prediction</h2> <p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/basketball-us/nba">NBA betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p> <p>We think it is likely to see the <strong>San Antonio Spurs win this match</strong>, which is our prediction.</p> <p>We think there may be value worth exploring in <strong>Wembanyama scoring 20+ points</strong> in this game. He had 16 from the bench in the last meeting, while his numbers have floated between 16 and 29 over his last nine games.</p> <h2>Keep Reading</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/tips">Our latest NBA tips and predictions for this week's action</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/tallest-nba-players">The giants who've towered over the NBA</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nba/nba-news/nba-positions-explained-basketball-roles">Point guard to centre — every position on the court explained</a></li> </ul>
