Free LA Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
In somewhat of a surprise, the Lakers’ defense has been among the best in the league over the past month even after signing Luka Doncic. I say surprising because LA is so thin upfront that I expected more teams to attack the paint and benefit from that lack of size.
Ty Lue will undoubtedly have a game plan in mind (with Jeff VanGundy’s help) for this match and because the Lakers are playing the back-to-back I’ll take the Clippers.
