The Lakers are starting to play good basketball again as they’re coming off a historical comeback on the road against the Blazers and there’s good energy around this team as key players are projected to be back in the lineup by the end of this week and they traded for Rui Hachimura who’s a solid young wing player that they need. The Lakers and Clippers have both faced at least 6 opponents over their last 10 games that are .500 or better but the Lakers have played better going 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS while facing 8 teams that are .500 or better so I don’t think they should be catching points in this matchup as I have the Lakers 5.24 points better than the Clippers so grab the points and look to play the Lakers on the ML. 

Projected score:

Clippers- 116

Lakers- 121
