It’s showtime in LA as the Lakers and Clippers meet tonight. Purple and gold aren’t among the title contenders, but they have LeBron and are able to defeat any team in the league. On the other side, the Clips are without Paul George yet have Leonard, Westbrook, and Harden onboard.
LA Lakers News
These Lakers aren’t in title talks for the moment. LBJ and Davis are tenth in the conference, fighting for the play-in right now, having a record of 31 wins and 28 defeats. The more successful franchise from Los Angeles lost in its previous appearance, which was against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona, 123-113.
LeBron led the way with 28 points and was close to a triple-double, having 12 assists and seven rebounds. Anthony Davis had a double-double as well, scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 boards. D’Angelo Russell also had a solid game with 20 points and seven dimes.
LA Clippers News
The Clippers can’t count on Paul George. The All-Star forward has problems with his knee and has to rest for a while, which is a big blow for his team. LA Clippers were on the road playing three games before losing to the Sacramento Kings at home a couple of nights ago, 123-107. It was their third defeat in the previous five appearances.
The best scorer in that one was Norman Powell, who had 21 buckets and hit five threes. The rest of the entire Clippers’ crew made three downtown. James Harden was 2-for-10 for three, yet managed to score 20 points and have eight assists. Kawhi Leonard had the same number of points with eight rebounds.
LA Lakers vs. LA Clippers Betting Tip
The line for Over/Under is 235.5 points right now. Both of these teams are offensive-minded, and we won’t have any problems to pick Over here. Yes, they are without George, but on the other side, they have two former MVPs (Westbrook and Harden) and the two-time NBA Finals MVP. The Lakers have LeBron and AD, and all of this offensive talent is simply forcing us to take over.
