It’s always a contentious matchup between the two residents of Crypto.com Arena but this is compounded by their recent results as the teams are headed in opposite directions.
Both clubs last played on Friday with the Clippers beating the Pelicans 111-95 while the Lakers lost 113-127 to the surging Grizzlies.
Season Series
Although the Lakers hold the all-time record between the clubs with 151 victories in 236 matches, the Clippers have owned their Crypto.com roommates for the past several seasons.
To wit, last season the Clippers swept the Lakers and were unbeaten in the last three seasons (11 straight victories) until the recent Lakers 130-135 win on November 1st. The squads will finish the season series with the Clippers hosting on January 23rd and February 28th.
LA Clippers
Things are clicking for the Clippers who have a healthy roster and have integrated James Harden. They enter this match on a five-game win streak plus have won 14 of their last 16 matches.
There were plenty of question marks when the Clippers pushed in their chips to add Harden but he has fit in well giving LA the playmaking they were lacking. That said, while LA is feasting now until they can translate this success to the postseason the jury will remain out.
Clippers Stats
LA has climbed offensively now ranking eighth (118.3), and is tied for 10th (113.1) while their net differential is plus +5.2 which ranks sixth in the association.
Through 34 contests the Clippers are performing evenly against the spread with a 18-16 record.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Moussa Diabate, PF (out indefinitely — hand)
Los Angeles Lakers
Things in Lakerland are tense with the team continuing to struggle since winning the NBA Cup. In contrast to their opponent the Lakers are 3-10 through the last 13 matches with that trio of wins including the lowly Spurs and Hornets.
LeBron James is clearly (and audibly) letting the front office know of his dissatisfaction and rumors are leaking that Darvin Ham has lost the locker room.
The big question is with Rob Pelinka feeling the pressure to add contributors to fix this current malaise does he really have the assets to make a big move?
Lakers Stats
LA ranks 23rd offensively (111.8), and 12th defensively (113.3), with a minus net differential of -1.5 ranking 22nd overall.
The Lakers are middling in the pack as they post a 16-21 record against the spread to this point in the season.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- LeBron James, SF (questionable —ankle)
- Anthony Davis, PF (probable — ankle)
- D’Angelo Russell, PG (questionable — tailbone)
- Rui Hachimura, PF (downgraded to OUT— calf)
- Gabe Vincent, PG (OUT indefinitely —knee)

Free LA Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
LeBron James and Anthony Davis are delivering but other than Austin Reeves the other Lakers simply aren’t consistent. They can’t shoot from the perimeter, play too slowly and the defense isn’t reliably consistent.
That bodes well for the Clippers who’ll be more than happy to take advantage of the Lakers while they are down.
