Friday night brings us a Hollywood Hardwood Battle in the NBA, with the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers set to face off at Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers (33-21) are fifth in the Western Conference standings, while the Clippers (27-28) are ninth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from consecutive defeats to the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder with a solid 124-104 victory over the Dallas Mavericks last Thursday.
Notably, this is the Lakers' sixth home game in succession, and with the All-Star weekend having also been held in LA, they should benefit from minimal travel. An added boost is that Luka Doncic should be back in action.
The Lakers are 15-10 at home this season. This is the third match between these two this season, with the Clippers having won the last two, but both those wins were at the Intuit Dome.
Meanwhile, the LA Clippers enter this match off the back of a 115-114 victory over the Nuggets last night - their fourth win in their last five games.
Kawhi Leonard has been excellent for the Clippers this season. He put up 23 points last night, marking his 34th straight game scoring 20+ points. However, Bennedict Mathurin was the star of the match with 38 points and four assists.
The Clippers are 13-17 on the road this season and will be without Darius Garland and Bradley Beal.
