L.A. Lakers
The Lakers will be in action both Thursday and Friday, as they look to put an end to their current 7 game losing streak.

Things have been an absolute mess for the Lakers during this losing streak. The Lakers have been outscored by an average of 16.3 points per game and are giving up 110 points per game to the opposition.
Los Angeles was finally in a ball game as they took the Mavericks to the wire on Tuesday. Dirk Nowitzki hit a turn around jumper in front of the Lakers bench with just 2 seconds to go to grab the win.
L.A. Clippers
The Clippers have won 2 in a row, but the drama has certainly unfolded for them.
It started off with Griffin going down and them being worried about how the team would react on the court. The Clippers rattled off 9 straight wins and it looked as if everything was fine.
Then, Los Angeles regressed a bit and started exchanging wins and losses and it was getting to the point where Griffin was set to return. Then news broke this week and Griffin was once again injured.
The star PF got into a fight with the Team manager and the two exchanged punches. Griffin broke his hand and will miss 4-6 weeks. With the news, Los Angeles must now look to DeAndre Jordan to really dominate down low. Jordan had just 9 points in the win over Indiana, but also grabbed 19 rebounds in the win. He’ll need to pick up his point productivity going forward.

Even without Griffin, the Clippers are just too overpowering in this matchup.
The Lakers have enough injuries to deal with, combined with how much of a struggle they’ve been defensively lately is just not a good combo.
Look for Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan to really work the 2 man game here as the Clippers route the Lakers in the battle of Los Angeles.
