On Saturday, the Los Angeles rivals of the NBA clash for the second time this season. In their first meeting, the Lakers swept the Clippers at Crypto Arena, defeating them 135-118.
The Lakers and Clippers have had completely contrasting seasons. The Lakers boast an excellent 19-7 record, and their record against the spread is 17-9. Since LeBron James' return, they have only improved; with the star and veteran on the court, the Lakers have an 8-2 record this year.
The Lakers are coming off a 143-point performance at the Delta Center to defeat the Jazz 143-135. Luka Doncic delivered another sublime performance, managing a triple-double with 45 points, 14 assists, 11 rebounds, and 5 steals. The Lakers won despite allowing the most points they have conceded this season.
This record contrasts sharply with the Clippers' 6-21 season, during which they were unable to shake off a losing streak that stretched to five losses in December. On Thursday, they could do little to prevent a loss to the Thunder, and they failed to cover despite being 16.5-point underdogs.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs LA Clippers Prediction
Harden did not play for the Clippers in their last game, but he has been removed from the injury report and is expected to start on Saturday. Harden is averaging 26 points per game this season.
Although Doncic and LeBron will play for the Lakers, the other player who had stolen the spotlight, Austin Reaves, will not play for the third consecutive game, as he deals with a grade 1 left calf strain.
Our prediction for Clippers vs Lakers is: Lakers ML.
