Prediction

Clippers 115, Lakers 108

Moneyline (ML)

The CLIPPERS (-143) are slight home favorites over the Lakers (+120) in this contest. The Clippers won the two previous meetings and are now fully healthy after missing several key players in both of the two previous matchups. It’s also notable that the Lakers played an incredibly physical game against the Bucks on Friday night. Look for this to be a close game, but for the Clippers to win the third meeting between these two powerhouse squads.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CLIPPERS (-2.5) are one basket favorites over the Lakers on Sunday afternoon. The Clippers have won six straight games and have covered five straight games against Western Conference opponents. The Lakers have been outstanding against the spread recently as well, covering in five of their last six games. However, they have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last 10 games against the Clippers. Expect that to be the case again on Sunday. Take the Clippers -2.5 versus the Lakers.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 224.5 as this game will feature two of the best offenses in the NBA. Each side is averaging more than 114 points per game, while also shutting teams down on the other end of the court. Look for the pace of this game to be a little slower as both teams look to control the tempo of the game. Expect the UNDER to barely hit in Los Angeles.
