The Lakers already have soundly beaten the Spurs twice on the road and they should be in good shape Tuesday for a dominant performance in Los Angeles. San Antonio won its final two home games before embarking on its annual eight-game "rodeo" road trip, and battled the Clippers to the wire before coming up short in the first game. The Spurs are in a letdown spot and they have struggled all season with consistency. A borderline no-show would come as no surprise.

I'm projecting 222 points for Spurs-Lakers, giving us solid value on the Under. The Under is cashing in about two-thirds of my simulations. With the Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back, look for them to slow it down and help keep this game Under.
