It’s always a contentious matchup between the two residents of Crypto.com Arena but Wednesday’s meeting between the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers takes on a dramatic effect with the recent James Harden trade.
Season Series
Although the Lakers hold the all-time record between the clubs with 150 victories in 235 matches it’s the Clippers who have owned their Crypto.com roommates for the past several seasons.
To wit, last season the Clippers swept the Lakers and are unbeaten in the last three seasons (11 straight victories).
LA Clippers
Dissecting the trade will take some time because the Clippers have coveted a point guard the entire era of Kawhi and Paul George but seemed to have turned a corner with Russell Westbrook handling the point.
To that end, it may be the biggest question facing the club with the addition of Harden in terms of how it will impact Westbrook. As it is Harden, Westbrook, and George rank in the top 10 players in scoring who’ve failed to win a championship and are now all on the same club.
Additionally, Ty Lue will have to figure out how four starters who all perform best with the ball in their hands can work to create a productive offense.
Clippers Stats
In week one the Clippers finished ranking fourth offensively (120.5), and eighth defensively (103.6), with a net differential of plus +16.9 ranking third overall.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Terance Mann SF (downgraded to OUT —ankle)
- Brandon Boston Jr. (downgraded to OUT—quad)
Los Angeles Lakers
On opening night when the Lakers lost and LeBron James played just 29 minutes, there was a fury building in the fanbase and James himself seemed annoyed by his limited time on the floor.
Perhaps then it wasn’t that unexpected that he’s played over 30 minutes in each subsequent outing (35, 39, and 33) with two wins and a loss.
LA has needed him on the court for those extra minutes as the two wins were by five and three points. The bigger question surrounding the Lakers is the consistency of Anthony Davis who typically vacillates between strong offensive outings and quieter showings.
In the two wins, he registered double-doubles (30P/12R vs. Suns and 26P/19R vs. Magic) whereas he posted 17P/8R vs the Nuggets. but was solid (30P/16R) in the overtime loss to the Kings.
Lakers Stats
In week one the Lakers finished ranking 19th offensively (106.4), and 15th defensively (110.5), with a net differential of minus -4.2 ranking 19th overall.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jarred Vanderbilt (OUT indefinitely—heel)
- Jalen Hood-Schifino (OUT indefinitely—knee)
- Rui Hachimura, PF (questionable —eye)

Free LA Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
It’s unknown whether Harden or PJ Tucker will be available to play in this game but regardless the roster will be dramatically different given Marcus Morris, Nic Batum, Robert Covington, and K.J. Martin were sent to Philly in the deal.
The Clippers maintained their core, however, so they should have enough to be competitive even if the new acquisitions don’t suit up. The bigger concern is the players on the injured list and it is the second game of a back-to-back set.
For the Lakers perimeter shooting is an issue with a huge red flag shining on offseason addition Gabe Vincent who has shot 1 of 15 through four games and is struggling to mesh with his new squad.
Because of the rest advantage and uncertainty of who’ll play I’ll take the Lakers to win breaking the 11-game losing streak versus the Clippers.
