Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview

The Clippers are tough

The Clippers enter the affair after a disappointing 7-point loss against the Toronto Raptors despite a 25-point performance by James Harden. The loss broke a two-game winning streak but they have won 8 out of their last 12 games. The Clippers’ defense has been incredible as they have given up just 107.2 points per game(3rd), which has given them the gumption to stay in the top six. However, they have had some offensive issues, tallying just 110.3 PPG(8th worst) during the current season. Their long-range shooting is not their strength as the Clippers have made just 12.1 three-pointers per game(5th).

The Lakers enter the Luka Doncic era

The Lakers come into this game after an impressive 16-point win against the New York Knicks as ageless LeBron James turned up with 33 points, 12 assists, and 11 rebounds masterpiece. They have now won eight out of their last ten games since mid-January. However, all storylines have taken a backseat since they traded for perennial MVP candidate Luka Doncic in exchange for their former superstar Anthony Davis. Doncic won’t be available for around a week, but when he returns, it will be interesting to see how he fits along LBJ. The team has their defensive issues covered with Dorian-Finney Smith, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Gabe Vincent, However, Doncic’s entrance will challenge Lakers head coach JJ Redick to adjust his system on both ends.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Clippers’ defense is losing a bit of its grip as the athletes are feeling the midseason exhaustion. Meanwhile, the Lakers’ defense has been bolstered by Dorian-Finney Smith and Jarred Vanderbilt, but the departure of Anthony Davis will hurt them on that end. Zubac can also have a field day with AD out of the way which could be the deciding factor. Thus, I back the Clippers to come on top by 4-8 points. The total can be over 220 but below 233 points.
