The Lakers were unimpressive in their previous game. However, we don’t think Tyronn Lue’s team will start the regular season with a win. We believe that Darvin Ham’s team will start the regular season with a win.
The Lakers proved once again that they can’t defend well. Against Golden State, they conceded 123 points. The Lakers tried to make up for it by playing well on offense. It’s likely that they won’t change anything. Their recent games against the Clippers have been quite productive. That trend will likely continue.
The Lakers started the regular season with a defeat. The Lakers lost their first game to the Warriors (109-123).
Despite the loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers player emerged as the best player on the court. Forward LeBron James recorded a double-double of 31 points and 14 rebounds.
Another double-double was scored by Russell Westbrook. He scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. The rest of the players were unimpressive in their performance. In the end, the Los Angeles team lost with a score of 109-123.
The Lakers were good on the defensive side against the Warriors with 47 rebounds.
The Clippers are a Western Conference club. Their first match is the Los Angeles derby.
Last season, the Clippers finished in 8th place in the regular season. That place allowed the Clippers to make the play-in of the tournament. The team had two chances to make it to the 1/8 finals. However, the Clippers missed them, losing to the Brooklyn Nets (108-115) and the New Orleans Pelicans (101-105).
The Los Angeles Clippers played several preseason games. They lost to the Nuggets (115-126) and the Timberwolves (117-119). However, they managed to beat the Trail Blazers (102-97).
The Clippers have averaged 25.75 assists per game in the pre-season.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Los Angeles Lakers: Russell Westbrook – Patrick Beverley – Kendrick Nunn – LeBron James – Anthony Davis.
Los Angeles Clippers: Reggie Jackson – Kawhi Leonard – Marcus Morris Sr. – Paul George – Ivica Zubac.
Troy Brown Jr. (Out), Dennis Schroder (Out), Thomas Bryant (Out), Anthony Davis (Day-to-day) and LeBron James (Day-to-day) are listed as injured for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Only Reggie Jackson (Day-to-day) is listed as injured for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Lakers have scored more than 108 points in 3 of their last 4 games. We offer to bet on “Lakers Points Over 108.5” with odds of 1.75.
The fixture will be played at Crypto.com Arena (19.079) in Los Angeles, California, USA.
