The Los Angeles Clippers will try to ride the momentum from last night’s win over the Denver Nuggets into tonight’s game against the Lakers at crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. Tipoff for this LA-based rivalry is scheduled for 10 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by ESPN.
The Clippers made their return from the All-Star Break last night against the Denver Nuggets at home. Denver seemed to be in control in the first half and took a seven-point lead into the break, 52-45. But the Clippers, led by the newly acquired Bennedict Mathurin, making his home debut with the Clippers, took charge in the second half and led going into the fourth by one. The game remained tight down to the wire; Mathurin scored the go-ahead points with two free throws to make the score 115-112 with nine seconds remaining. Jamaal Murray had a chance to tie it up from the line but failed. As for the Lakers, they make their return tonight with a relatively healthy roster. The Lakers have not had Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves in the lineup; this will be just the 11th game this season with all three in the starting lineup.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs LA Clippers Prediction
I have to admit—prior to last night’s Clippers-Nuggets game, I had every intention of going with the Lakers at -6.5; Luka, Austin, and LeBron? Forget about it! The Clippers don’t stand a chance, but then I followed the Clippers-Nuggets game and saw these guys turn it around, playing well enough against one of the best teams in the Western Conference to pull ahead and win. I don’t know that I can get behind the Clippers winning outright, but they’ll make a game of it tonight.
Our Clippers vs. Lakers Pick: Clippers +7.5
