Wednesday night brings us the Battle of L.A., with the Clippers playing host to the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. The Lakers beat this opponent by eight on the road last weekend, and our prediction is that they will come out on top in this contest as well.
After kicking off the season with a victory over the Sacramento Kings, the LA Clippers are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat, following their 108-101 loss to the Thunder on Sunday.
While the Clippers have not been great offensively, their defence has been solid. They are averaging 109.7 points against per game (8th) and have the seventh-best defensive rating in the league.
Darius Garland leads the team with 24 points and 1.7 rebounds this season. However, the Clippers have a lengthy injury report, with Max Strus, Bradley Beal, Rui Hachimura, Brandon Ingram, and Jordan Miller ruled out.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers reeled off three wins on the bounce to start the season, but they were stopped in their tracks, losing 136-129 to the Portland Trail Blazers last night.
Luka Doncic leads the league with 34.3 PPG this season after putting up 41 against the Blazers. The Lakers have the second-best offensive rating this season but rank 23rd on the defensive end.
The Lakers are playing the end of a back-to-back but have won seven of their last 10 against their cross-town rivals. Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero are out for the visitors.

Our LA Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers are playing the second game of a back-to-back after falling to the Blazers, but they have not had to travel and have a much deeper roster available than the injury-ravaged Clippers.
We’ve said since the start of the season we expect the Clippers to struggle this year, and so far they have only beaten the Kings, which is not much to write home about. We’re steering clear of the Clippers until they get a few players back from injury. Our LA Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction is Los Angeles Lakers -2.5.
