The San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers close out Tuesday's four-game NBA slate on the West Coast at 10:30 p.m. ET.
The pregame narrative: Los Angeles played and lost last night, casting some doubt on the availability of its top stars. That includes Luka Doncic, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. San Antonio sports a clean bill of health and is laying 8.5 points on the road.

Spurs vs. Lakers SGP
SGP: Spurs -4.5 | Wembanyama 10+ rebounds | Castle over 17.5 points (+300)
Spurs -4.5 (-235): I wouldn't be entirely comfortable laying this number if the Lakers were fully healthy.
But L.A. has been tight-lipped about Doncic's availability, and it's likely one of, if not both, Austin Reaves (who is on a minutes restriction with a calf injury) or LeBron James (41 years old) will sit on this back-to-back.

San Antonio has been rolling, with wins in five of its last six games. That includes a 12-point win over the Houston Rockets and a 10-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
OKC and Houston rank first and sixth, respectively, in defensive rating. L.A. is 22nd.
The Spurs have won their last two games against the Lakers by an average of 14.5 points.
NBA SGP pick
Wembaynama 10+ rebounds (-230): Wembanyama ranks fifth in rebounding (11.1/game) heading into tonight's contest.
-> See player props on Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle & more!
Check out his numbers over his last 10 games:
- 11.8 rebounds/game
- 10+ rebounds eight times
- 14+ rebounds four times
Los Angeles is a tough matchup for opposing centres, but Wembanyama isn't your average centre.
The 7-foot-4 phenom has a big size and reach advantage over anybody, and he has reached this milestone in six of his eight games against L.A.
That includes a 14-rebound performance in their last meeting.
Top Castle prop bet
Castle over 17.5 points (+102): Castle flashed his high-scoring upside on Saturday, dropping 40 points on 78.9% shooting against the Dallas Mavericks.
I don't expect another 40-piece tonight, but I am confident he can clear this number.
The reigning Rookie of the Year has had at least 15 points in his last five games against the Lakers, giving us a solid floor to work with. He is 3-2 vs. this line in those contests.

Castle isn't your typical PG, taking 44% of his shots at the rim, per Cleaning the Glass. That ranks in the 95th percentile among all NBA guards.
Los Angeles has the third-worst rim defence in the NBA (71.6 opponent FG%).
