The LA Clippers welcome city rivals the LA Lakers for the two teams’ third meeting of the season in the NBA. They come into this game having moved up to 10th in the Western Conference and are 7.5 games behind their fifth-placed hosts. Read on to find our prediction for this match.
The Clippers will be seeking to get back to winning ways after they ended a three-game road trip with a loss in Chicago. Ty Lue’s men have been the NBA’s in-form team since before Christmas and have won 13 of their last 16 games.
Before falling to the Bulls 138-110, they were on a six-game winning streak. The Clippers’ form, which is a complete contrast to the form they started the season with, has elevated them to the playoff picture.
They have improved to 19-24, with one of their wins being a 103-88 home win over the Lakers.
The Lakers seem to have settled their nerves after an uncomfortable six-game stretch in which they had won just once. J.J. Redick’s men have won their last two matches, which have both been against playoff hopefuls.
After a 110-93 home win over the Raptors, the Lakers travelled to Denver, where Luka Doncic inspired a 115-107 victory. The two wins have kept LA from dropping out of the automatic playoff places.
Sitting 10 games above .500, the Lakers have won 26 games. They, however, don’t have their spot cemented, as the two teams directly below them are just one win away.
