Best Bet for LA Lakers vs LA Clippers

Best Bet: Los Angeles Lakers -6.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Los Angeles Lakers vs LA Clippers is Lakers -6.5 (-110) against the spread.

The Los Angeles Lakers have recorded 15 wins and 10 losses thus far at home this season. In their last 10 games, they have come out victorious five times. They own the 11th-best offensive rating in the league, while their defense sits at 23rd spot among 30 teams. On the other hand, the Clippers are 12th offensively, and are 20th defensively.

This signifies that while the Lakers maintain a strong record at home, there isn’t much difference between their and the Clippers’ performance.

The spread at Lakers -6.5 fits the hosts well considering their dominance on homecourt. However, we expect the Clippers to give them a tough fight.

Keeping their homecourt advantage, better offense and recent record in mind, we are laying Los Angeles Lakers -6.5 (-110) as our best bet, and expect them to cover the number tonight.

Same-Game Parlay Picks for Los Angeles Lakers vs LA Clippers

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Los Angeles Lakers -3.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Luka Doncic Over 29.5 points
Leg 3: Austin Reaves Over 21.5 points

Combined odds: +681

We have built this same-game parlay around the Lakers to record a win at home. Doncic is the leading Lakers’ scorer, taking offensive responsibility for his side since the beginning of the season. We expect him to make the most of the Lakers’ homecourt advantage and put up a number for his side. Reaves has established his reliability this season, and he has taken the burden off Doncic’s shoulder whenever he has played.

These legs are correlated considering if the Lakers take control of the court, their players will get volume. Thus, they will end up with more scoring opportunities. Therefore, it is our safer SGP option.
