But I think the path for a productive showing on Wednesday will be smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>According to Fantasy Pros, the Lakers allow the third-most assists to opposing point guards (9.7\/game).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In two matchups vs. L.A. this season, Castle has 46 points and 14 assists (30 PA per game).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Bet on NBA futures at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reigning Rookie of the Year is 1-1 vs. this prop when facing the Lakers, but he landed on exactly 24 points\/assists in the under. And that was a game in which he shot an uncharacteristic 3-for-11 from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the former UConn standout is 15-12 vs. this line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122654\">Embed: #122654<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Doncic under 37.5 points<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-167):<\/strong> We&#8217;re playing with fire here, as Doncic has the ability to go nuclear on any given night. He is the NBA scoring leader, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even as the top scorer in the NBA, Doncic&#8217;s average (33.5 PPG) falls well below this mark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He scored 35 points apiece in both previous matchups vs. the Spurs this season. As impressive as that is, it put him under this sky-high line both times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Fade Doncic vs. the Spurs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Austin Reaves (calf) out, it would&#8217;ve been fair to assume that Doncic would shoulder even more of a scoring load for the Lakers. But that hasn&#8217;t been true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the absence of his backcourt mate, Doncic is averaging 30.7 PPG in 10 games. This under is 9-1 in those matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All things considered, this is a pretty playable price to fade Doncic at a massive point total. On principle, I have to jump on that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Champagnie over 11.5 points <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>-139):<\/strong> Devin Vassell&#8217;s injury has vaulted Champagnie into a heightened role, and he&#8217;s certainly seizing the opportunity to get shots up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having landed in the starting lineup in four straight games sans-Vassell, here&#8217;s what Champagnie has been up to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>22.0 PPG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20+ points in three of four<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13.8 shots\/game<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>48.9 3PT%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Full Lakers vs. Spurs prop betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Champagnie can easily clear this prop from beyond the arc. He&#8217;s averaging 11.3 attempted 3s in the past four games, and if four of those go in, we&#8217;re laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a solid matchup for Champagnie to do damage, as the Lakers allow the 11th-most made 3s on the sixth-highest 3PT% (37.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth-year wing has cashed this bet in both previous matchups vs. the Lakers this season, scoring 14 and 16 points, respectively, in those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Lakers vs. Spurs predictions made at 3:20 p.m. on Jan. 7, 2026. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\">Sign up to NorthStar Bets today<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"thestar\">Looking to get started? <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNzQxMyZsPTEzNTI3NDExJnA9MjMyNDM%3D\">Sign up here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers visit the San Antonio Spurs in a matchup of teams playing on back-to-backs.
