Los Angeles Lakers vs Los Angeles Clippers: Prediction and Betting Tips

Possible line-ups for the match:

G – Russell Westbrook; G – Lebron James; F – Talen Horton-Tucker; F – Anthony Davis; C – De’Andre Jordan.
Los Angeles Clippers:
G – Eric Bledsoe; G – Reggie Jackson; F – Paul George; F – Marcus Morris Sr.; C – Ivica Zubac.

Los Angeles Lakers:

The Lakers have had to work hard to get up the speed, but the team’s play is far from optimal at the moment. Both LeBron James and Frank Vogel have heard a lot of criticism in their direction. By the way, the former will still play in the Los Angeles derby, as he has been allowed to play.

The Lakers have won two straight games, as they first defeated the Detroit Pistons (110-106) and then took revenge on the Sacramento Kings (117-92) in their last meeting. As you can see, the situation is gradually returning to normal.

Los Angeles Clippers:

The Clippers find themselves outside the play-off zone, but things can still be fixed, as only 22 games have gone by. Unfortunately, the head coach cannot count on Kawhi Leonard, who is recovering from a knee injury. Also in the infirmary are Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey.

The Clippers have lost three games in a row, all at home. Tyronn Lue’s men were weaker than the Golden State Warriors (90-105), New Orleans Pelicans (104-123), and Sacramento Kings (115-124). The players are well aware that the next meeting won’t be easy either, as the Lakers are pushing themselves to the maximum in the derby, but there will be plenty to look forward to.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Los Angeles Clippers Statistics: 

• 15.4 and 14.5 –  the average number of losses per game for teams in the current regular season.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Los Angeles Clippers Tips:

The Clippers’ last three defeats have been very troubling, as the team did not understand what was happening to them at all. The Clippers will try to fix the situation in the Los Angeles derby, but without Kawhi Leonard it will be extremely difficult. In addition, the participation of Paul George in the match is questionable.

The Lakers are slowly getting back to their former level. LeBron James and company are getting ready for a real battle, especially with more wins lately. In our opinion, the Lakers are better prepared and will be able to take advantage of their opponent’s problems.

Our first prediction and bet are the Lakers’ win with the odds of 1.80 with the VBet bookmaker.

In their last five games, the Clippers have only once managed to score more than 108 points.

Our second prediction and bet are the Clippers’ individual points under 108.5 with the odds of 1.80 with the Vbet bookmaker.
