But the Lakers have been rolling teams and are great at shutting down opposing point guards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Los Angeles has won 12 of its past 15 games, covering the spread in 11 of those wins. It is also 11-8 ATS as a home favourite this season.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Lakers allow the 8th-fewest PPG to opposing point guards, per Fantasy Pros.
