NBA Oddsmakers currently have the Lakers listed as 7-point favorites versus the Spurs, while the game's total is sitting at 190.

The Lakers are tied with the New Orleans Hornets for the top spot in the Western Conference, while the Spurs are even with Houston at just a half game off the pace.

Los Angeles will resume its season-ending three-game homestand on Sunday, and is 28-11 at the Staples Center this season. It opened the homestand with a 107-104 victory over the Hornets on Friday, as Kobe Bryant scored 29 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out eight assists to help lock up the Pacific Division title. The Lakers could not cover the 5-point spread, while the 211 points fell UNDER the posted total of 213.

If the Lakers and Hornets finish with identical marks, LA wins the Western Conference and home-court advantage at least until the NBA finals thanks to a better record versus conference foes.

Pau Gasol recorded 25 points and six boards in the recent win for the Lakers, who will close out the regular-season schedule on April 15 versus Sacramento.

San Antonio will open a two-game road trip today against the Lakers and Kings, and owns a 21-18 mark as the visitor in 2007-08. The Spurs have won two of three and 10 of their last 12 games, including Friday's 95-74 victory over Seattle at the AT&T Center. The Spurs covered the 15.5-point spread at home, but the combined 169 points fell UNDER the posted total of 183.

Tony Parker finished with 20 points and seven assists, while Michael Finley had 14 points for the Spurs, who are also tied with Houston at a half game behind New Orleans in the Southwest Division.

Spurs guard Manu Ginobili is doubtful for Sunday's game because of a strained left groin muscle.

San Antonio is 2-1 against the Lakers this season, and has won 11 of the previous 15 matchups in the series.

The Spurs have also won six of their last eight games at the Lakers.
