The LA Clippers will be up against their division rivals, Los Angeles Lakers in an anticipated clash on Thursday January 22. The hosts will head into the game on the back of a blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls. On the other hand, the Lakers are riding off a two-game winning streak.
The Clippers are one-point favorites to come on top of the Lakers, with the moneyline at Los Angeles -102 and total at 224.5 points. These NBA odds tonight suggest that the home-favorites are likely to end the Lakers’ winning momentum, and bounce back from their recent setback. We have got our Best Bet, a same-game parlay, and a few player props for tonight’s game.
Here’s how we are betting for the Clippers vs Lakers tonight.
Our best bet for LA Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers is Clippers -1 (-110) against the spread.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a slight edge over the Clippers in offense. However, they are seeded below their hosts for Thursday night, when it comes to defense. In addition to it, there isn’t much difference between the two in terms of net rating. Hence, while the Lakers are coming off two straight wins, they have recently seen a slump in their performance and the Clippers aren’t too behind them.
The spread at -1 (-110) fits the Clippers well considering their defensive edge and homecourt advantage. Their 11-9 record suggests that they dominate at home.
Considering the recent slump of the Lakers, the Clippers’ defensive edge as well as home-court advantage, we are laying the LA Clippers -1 (-110) as our Best Bet. Though we expect a tight clash between both the teams and want the hosts to cover the number tonight.
Same-Game Parlay Picks for LA Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers
We have built this same-game parlay around the LA Clippers to register a narrow win at home. James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are the leading scorers for the home team, and they are expected to go all out (if Leonard plays) against a stronger Lakers’ team headed by Luka Doncic.
These legs are correlated, if the Clippers dominate at home, their players get volume and they score big. Or, if Harden and Leonard score big, the Clippers get an upper hand over the Lakers. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.
