Lakers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 106, Lakers 105
Moneyline
PASS.
The Clippers (-190) may win but they are being overvalued considering that Leonard is still out. I would recommend betting on the spread or the total instead of the ML.
Against the spread
BET LAKERS +4.5 (-117).
The Lakers have underachieved as of late, but that makes it the best time to take them. There is no reason for the James-led Lakers to be 4.5-point underdogs at Crypto.com Arena vs. a 6-5 team. Take the points in Los Angeles.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 220.5 (-117).
The Under is 5-1 in the Clippers’ last 6 games and 11-5-2 in the last 18 head-to-head meetings. The Clippers’ offense should regress toward the mean after an upset win. Expect a low-scoring game.
