Los Angeles Lakers: Game 6 preview, odds, live stream vs San Antonio Spurs
The Los Angeles Lakers hit the road again, looking to keep up their winning ways against the San Antonio Spurs,
The Los Angeles Lakers are a lot of fun to watch. They have been an exciting team on the court despite having only a 2-3 record. However, they come into tonight’s game on a two-game winning streak and with revenge on their mind.
The Lakers will be traveling to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. This is the second meeting for the teams, as the Spurs won an overtime thriller in Los Angeles, 143-142. The Lakers had their chance to win, but couldn’t seal the deal in the final minute.
Los Angeles led by six with 55.6 seconds remaining in the game, but San Antonio would finish the game on a 7-0 run. LeBron James missed two free throws with 12.8 seconds remaining, which Patty Mills followed up with what would amount to the game-winning shot. James missed a step-back jumper at the buzzer.
You can be sure that James will be motivated to make up for the late game meltdown last week. He and the Lakers will have some help this time around, as Rajon Rondo will return from suspension.

Rondo has missed the last three games because of his role in the fight with the Houston Rockets. His suspension ends tonight, but what will his role be? Lonzo Ball has excelled in his spot in the starting lineup and could remain there.
Los Angeles will have to find a way to slow down LaMarcus Aldridge this time around. Aldridge did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, offensively in the first matchup. Aldridge finished with 37 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block as he just toyed with the Lakers.
JaVale McGee did what he could against him, but they will need another player to step up. Johnathan Williams had his coming out party against the Spurs and should see minutes again tonight to help take pressure off of McGee.
DeMar DeRozan also scored well, pouring in 32 in the first matchup. Having Rondo back in the lineup will give Luke Walton another perimeter defender at his disposal to throw at DeRozan.
