Portland Trail Blazers - Los Angeles Lakers

Atlanta had a tough game against Charlotte, the accuracy from both long distance and close to the basket was impressive, there weren't many options there because the shots were falling really well, even though there were a lot of efforts and they were holding on throughout the entire game, they ultimately crumbled at the crucial moment, which is really frustrating for the basketball players when they lose a close game in the last minutes. I'm not saying they can't win against the Spurs tonight, but it might be a bit harder, especially because Atlanta doesn't have a strong defense, so they might struggle against the Peruvian players. However, this time I want to believe they will need help from the French player who is being cautious after an injury and might not even get a spot in the starting lineup, but he has the potential for some great plays and I hope he will shine tonight. I don't think it will be easy for them to play at an open game and cover the over time, like they did with the same Wizards team.
