Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on 'Under 259.5' for the Total Points in the Lakers vs Spurs game is driven by both teams' recent scoring data. The Lakers and Spurs have averaged 127.2 and 126.8 points respectively in their last five games. Even when considering the highest recent scoring average at their respective locations (119 for Lakers at home and 116.4 for Spurs away), the combined total falls well below the 259.5 point threshold. Additionally, both teams have shown defensive strength, with the Lakers and Spurs allowing an average of 112.8 and 126.6 points respectively to their opponents in their last five games at the current locations. The model prediction of 222.95 further supports this bet. Hence, statistically, it's plausible to expect a total score under 259.5 points.

The bet on 'San Antonio Spurs Under 126.5' in the game against the Los Angeles Lakers makes sense when we consider the team's recent scoring trends. The Spurs, despite a decent overall record, have scored an average of 116.4 points in their last five away games. This is significantly lower than the line set at 126.5 points. Furthermore, Spurs' opponents have scored an average of 126.6 points in the same period, implying a competitive, not high-scoring, game. The model prediction also suggests a Spurs' score of 106.74, which is far below the betting line. These stats indicate that the Spurs are unlikely to reach the 126.5 point mark, making 'Under' a strong bet.
