Today is Monday, January 13, and basketball fans are gearing up for an exciting matchup between the San Antonio Spurs (18-19) and the Los Angeles Lakers (20-16) at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

This is the Lakers first game amidst the devastating wildfires in the greater Los Angeles region after postponing games Thursday and Saturday. LeBron James and co. have not played since a 118-97 loss in Dallas last Tuesday. Anthony Davis had 21 points and 12 rebounds in that contest.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs have lost three straight to drop below .500 on the season. They have not won since a 113-110 win in Denver on January 3. Wembanyama is averaging 25 points, 4 blocks, and nearly 11 rebounds per game this season.

The Spurs are currently 6-11 on the road with a point differential of -1, while the Lakers have a 5-5 record in their last ten games at home.
