Portland at Los Angeles

Los Angeles is 2-1 despite the absence of LeBron James, and even without Luka Doncic, the Lakers beat Sacramento 127-120 on Sunday night as Austin Reaves hit four free throws in the final 32 seconds and totaled 51 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. Portland dropped to 1-2 after losing 114-107 to the Clippers, shooting just 37 percent and 11-for-41 from 3-point range. The Trail Blazers' defense wasn't any better as the Clippers shot 55 percent with Kawhi Leonard scoring 30 points. Portland is obviously in disarray amid the coaching turmoil, and it will take time for interim head coach Tiago Splitter to sort things out. The past four meetings have gone UNDER, and Portland has gone UNDER six of seven when playing on no rest, dating back to last season. Take the Lakers and the UNDER.
