Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The LA Clippers were supposed to be the new kids on the block with their off-season acquisition of Chris Paul. They had a bad stretch that left them a game and a half behind the Lakers. The bad stretch saw them go 7-12, but otherwise they are 25-9. It is what we have seen from that 25-9 team, and more, that has been on display recently as the Clippers have regrouped and are 6-0 in their last six games. The Lakers are turning every game into an adventure and, although they have done well in the win column, they are a dreadful 1-10 ATS in their last 11, including 0-7 ATS following a straight up win. The Lakers are 0-6 ATS vs. the Clippers in their last six and a win here for the Clippers evens these teams up in the loss column. Play on the LA Clippers.
