Clippers at Lakers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 115, Lakers 105

Moneyline

PASS.

The Clippers (-200) should win, but there is no need to pay the extra juice on the moneyline when the Clippers should win by margin. Bet the spread or total instead.

Against the spread

BET CLIPPERS -5.5 (-102).

Even if James plays, the Lakers are coming off back-to-back double-digit comebacks and should not be counted on to keep pulling off improbable wins. The Lakers have struggled vs. familiar opponents and are just 1-8 ATS when playing in the division. The Clippers have also won but back-to-back games but never trailed by more than 10 in either. Lay the points with the more dependable Los Angeles team.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 229.5 (-108).

The Clippers allow the 4th-fewest points per game this season (110.5) and the Under is 6-1 in the Lakers’ last 7 games. These teams tend to play low-scoring games vs. each other as the Under is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings and Tuesday’s matchup should be another low-scoring affair between these in-division rivals.
