Spurs Game Today: Spurs vs Lakers Odds, Prediction, Pick, TV for Nov. 14

Sunday afternoon's showdown will feature two teams desperately wanting to prove something to themselves.

The San Antonio Spurs are looking for their fifth win in 13 games after their third loss to the Mavericks in as many tries. Beyond showcasing the glaring hole the Spurs have at center without Jakob Poeltl, the loss showed the Spurs' defense still needs a lot of work.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers will likely be fired up after suffering an embarrassing loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves -- one in which they were outscored 40-12 in the third quarter. The effort led to the Staples Center crowd booing them early in the fourth quarter, which should lead to a much more inspired effort against San Antonio.

San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

As I said before, both of these teams are desperate for a bounce-back win. While expectations for their seasons are very different, there's still plenty to play for while they both look to tread water without crucial pieces.

It's become clear in the early season that Jakob Poeltl is the second-most consistent player in Silver and Black so far, and that probably won't change unless Derrick White can wake up offensively. Because of his absence, I find it hard to pick in favor of the Spurs, who have a slim margin for error to win games even with a full roster.
