The Lakers will be looking to get their first win of the new season after losing to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday evening. However, they have struggled in recent years versus the Clippers, winning just seven of 35 games against them head-to-head since the 2013-14 campaign.
Betting lines
Advice and prediction
The Lakers have a weak 3-point shooting team, as well as a lack of wing depth, while the Clippers have substantial wing depth and were third in 3-point shooting percentage last season.
If the Lakers were fully healthy, perhaps they’d have a real shot. But the absence of guard Dennis Schroder and center Thomas Bryant leaves them without two very solid role players on both ends of the floor.
We believe the Clippers’ recent dominance over the Lakers will continue in this contest.
Prediction: Clippers 118, Lakers 111
