Point Spread: 5.00 | -108.00 LA Lakers (Away)
Result: Push
First off, there is no home court advantage since both teams play at Staples Center. There are more Lakers fans in the area than Clippers fan.
The Lakers have been idle since Wednesday when they lost to the Kings on the road. They are anxious to get back playing and have had good practices. The Clippers, on the other hand, are returning back to LA after five consecutive road games that concluded Saturday night against the Kings.
The Clippers have really struggled due to multiple injuries. Losing Patrick Beverley really hurts their backcourt, which was in transition in the post Chris Paul era. The Clippers are 3-11 SU and ATS in their last 14 games with their only victories coming against the Mavericks, Hawks and Kings. The combined record of those teams is 14-45.
The Lakers get back Larry Nance today. They also have a quality defensive center in Andrew Bogut to counter DeAndre Jordan.
The Clippers have dominated this series taking advantage of the Lakers' rebuilding in winning the past 10 times. The Lakers are better now and the Clippers have regressed.
