I'm not trying to get behind the Los Angeles Lakers, a team that's drastically overrated and nothing has come easy for them this season. However, LeBron is expected to play and there's a chance AD plays as well. The Los Angeles Clippers have also cooled off big time over these last two weeks, which includes losing their last five games by an average of eight points. The Clippers are also losing by an average of 12 points while shooting 41.1 percent from the field in the underdog role. I like the Lakers in the underdog role here.
