Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The Lakers are on a 10-6 run UNDER the total while winding down this lost season. The offense has been mostly injured and inept, 17th in points scored and 25th in field goal shooting. And it's getting worse, scoring 77 points at home to Portland the last game in a blowout loss. The Lakers are 9-3 UNDER the total following a loss, including 5-0 UNDER after a double-digit loss at home. The Clippers had to play last night, shutting down Denver in a 107-92 win, part of a 2-1 run UNDER the total. They won't want to run playing on no rest, and the UNDER is 12-5-2 when the Clippers face a team with a winning percentage below .400. Throw in the fact that the Lakers are 13-5-2 UNDER the total against the Western Conference, and this game will feature more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play UNDER the total here.
