Lakers vs Clippers Prediction
It’s going to be interesting to see how the Lakers respond at the end of a back-to-back after playing an up-and-down game against Portland. Potential tired legs. The problem is it probably doesn’t matter. The Clippers are extremely limited due to endless injuries to key players, and even a potentially tired Lakers team should be able to take advantage. Also, little travel for the Lakers. From the injury standpoint, you can argue this line should be steeper. Give me the Lakers and the chalk on Wednesday night.
