Theoretically, both teams should have their share of home supporters (though the Lakers will probably have more, I admit), so we probably shouldn\u2019t pay much attention to home\/road stats both straight-up and against the spread.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers\u2019 little playoff tease to start the New Year was fun while it lasted but we\u2019ve quickly realized that this is still a team in transition. That doesn\u2019t mean the future isn\u2019t bright \u2013 how can you not get excited about Blake Griffin? \u2013 but it means the Clippers aren\u2019t quite ready for prime time.<\/p>\n<p>The Clippers have lost five of six and are 1-5 ATS over that span as well. It hurts not having Eric Gordon, who was the Association\u2019s eighth-leading scorer before succumbing to a wrist injury. The Clips are 3-8 ATS since he went down. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ymo7VEZ8gU2ZXdRsl6wLCi5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/basketball\/sportsbook_basketball_250x250_banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Lakers have returned from the All-Star break in style, beating the Hawks at home and then a streaking Portland team on the road this week. Kobe Bryant and company are 6-3 ATS over their last nine games. Maybe winning the All-Star Game MVP gave Kobe a mental boost? He was a force against the Blazers on Wednesday night, racking up 37 points, nine boards and six assists.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s almost a foregone conclusion that the Lakers win tonight but the 10.5-point spread is scary. The Clippers are actually 7-1 ATS over their last eight against the Lakers and have won two of the last three meetings.<\/p>\n<p>However, when the Clippers beat the Lakers in the last meeting on January 16, Eric Gordon dropped a game-high 30 points. The Clips are Griffin\u2019s team but they\u2019re quickly realizing that they can\u2019t win with just one man. They\u2019re not nearly as threatening without Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the Lakers are firing on cylinders and that the sagging Clippers are missing their top scorer, I actually think the defending NBA champs can cover the fat spread tonight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LAC are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Pacific.<br \/>\nOver is 23-9 in LAC last 32 Fri. games.<br \/>\nUnder is 19-7 in LAL last 26 Fri. games.<br \/>\nUnder is 15-6 in LAL last 21 home games.<br \/>\nLAC are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.<br \/>\nUnderdog is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Lakers 111, Clippers 98<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?schedule\/league_id,nba\"><strong> CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR TOP NBA CAPPERS PREDICTIONS FOR TODAY!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday night its the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers.
