The LA Lakers have been the little brother in the Hallway Series over the last seven season, but they hope that will change this year with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis on the team. Additionally, they have a new head coach in Frank Vogel who'll want to start his tenure with the team with a win.

The LA Clippers have of course brought in a couple of big hitters of their own in NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but the latter is likely to miss at least the first 10 games of the season.

The Lakers have covered the number in seven of the last 10 meetings and I think they'll get the better of their rival here.

8* play on LA Lakers.
