(NBA) LA Clippers vs. LA Lakers,
Point Spread: -5.00 | -110.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Push
This is a 10* BOOKIEKILLER on the Lakers.

The Clippers are 3-1 and the Lakers are 2-2. Will the addition of James Harden make the Clippers a better team? Of course, but it doesn't mean that there will be unbelievable chemistry right off the bat. Clearly, it may never work out either.

Either way, I think this is a great spot for the Lakers to grab the first game of the year between the two clubs here in LA. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS so far, but I expect that streak to end. The Clippers are 3-1 ATS.

But the Clippers are coming off a 118-102 win here over Orlando just last night, and fatigue will for sure be an issue here.

Both clubs have a few nights off after this before Eastern road swings, but I say that the Clippers come in a bit fatigued, and I expect the Lakers to smell the blood in the water and to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish.

Lay the points, the play is the LAKERS.

Good luck, NP
