Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The Clippers are clicking, off to a 3-1 SU/ATS start behind star forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George (27.3 ppg). And they just traded for 10-time All-Star guard James Harden. The offense is sixth in scoring (120.5 ppg), third in shooting (51.6%), and No. 1 from 3-point land (42.3%), while the defense is fifth in points allowed. The Los Angeles Lakers are favored but have yet to cover (0-3-1 ATS) this season. The offense is just 18th in scoring, 15th in shooting, and the third-worst in the NBA from long range (29.2%). The defense is 14th in points given up and 20th at defending beyond the arc allowing 36.5% shooting. The Lakers are on a 13-24 spread run in the first half of the season and NBA teams like the Lakers that average 108-114 points off a close win by 3 points or less are 36-70 ATS against teams that allow 104 points per game or fewer. The Clippers are 21-9 ATS after a non-conference tilt. Play the Los Angeles Clippers to cover.
