Los Angeles Lakers vs San Antonio Spurs NBA Preview
This NBA system fades home teams that are dealing with fatigue while facing visiting teams with fresher legs and fewer games played in recent days — which appears to be the case in tonight's matchup between the Lakers and Spurs.
Homecourt advantage tends to diminish when the host is running on fumes, particularly against an opponent coming off a competitive game (i.e., not a blowout win or loss), which limits any added motivational or emotional edge — which is the Spurs in this spot.
Overall, the system stands at 663-576-27 (54%) with a 4% ROI across all-time results. This season, it’s off to a 20-9 (69%) start, producing a 32% ROI.
So, let's take the points with the Lakers on Wednesday night.
