With the Oklahoma City Thunder starting to falter at the top of the Western Conference, tonight’s game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers could decide who will lead the charge to chase them down. The Lakers are in the better form of the teams, currently riding a 3-game winning streak — while the Spurs will look to snap out of a 2-game funk.

Same Game Parlay odds: +706
Dylan Harper Over 10.5 points (-110)
Recent performances have suggested that Dylan Harper might be hitting a rookie wall, with double-digit performances in just 2 of his last 5 games. However, the Lakers should be the perfect opponent for him to bounce back against. Over the last 10 games they are 25th in the league in defensive rating. The Lakers are 26th in opponent points in the paint during that stretch. It should allow Harper to get back to what he does best — getting to the rim. He was able to drop a 13-point performance when these sides last met and with little resistance at the point of defense, Harper should have a strong showing.
Victor Wembanyama Over 20.5 points (+100)
Despite being on a minute’s restriction, Victor Wembanyama has been in terrific scoring form. He has scored more than 20 points in 4 straight games, managing 30 or more in 3 of those contests. He has managed 16 or shots in 3 of those games, too, and should be able to keep level of shot attempts against Los Angeles. Facing Deandre Ayton should be beneficial, as well. The center will likely have real issues containing him off the dribble. With the poor defensive effort that the Lakers have been showing of late, it is hard to see how they could show improvement on that end and slow down the Frenchman. As the focal point of the offense, Wembanyama can be expected to be productive.
LeBron James Over 5.5 rebounds (-120)
LeBron James was able to record 15 rebounds the last time these sides met and he should be able to put together a similarly strong showing in this one. He has started January hitting the over on this line in each of his 3 games, averaging 8 boards in the process. With Wembanyama spacing the floor and getting Ayton away from the paint, it should leave James to pick up the rebounding void. Luka Doncic is more than capable of doing the same, too — but with Doncic having to focus on containing the Spurs’ backcourt, it will be James who will probably be picking up the misses tonight.
