The Los Angeles Lakers will clash with the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday, December 22, 2020, at 10:00 P.M., ET.

This is a long-awaited rivalry that was expected to take place in the Western Conference Finals where the duo of Lebron James and Anthony Davis would take on the tandem of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

The Lakers won it all last season as they brought home the bacon against an upstart Miami Heat team. It took 6 games for the team to take out Jimmy Butler and the heat to take home the coveted prize of the NBA. The Lakers lost a lot of their talent this year such as all-star Dwight Howard, JaVale McGee, and Danny Green. The good news is they kept Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma among many others while acquiring the services of Dennis Schroder, Marc Gasol, and Montrezl Harrell. The Lakers led the Western Conference in the preseason with a record of 4-0.

Anthony Davis owned the Lakers’ record last season when he led in 4 categories. He averaged 26.1 points per game and 9.3 rebounds per match. Davis also made 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per matchup. The “King” Lebron James was the assist leader with 10.2 per game. The team is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 16-4 SU in their last 20 matches.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions 12/22/2020

The Los Angeles Clippers will start fresh in this game after failing to capture any wins in the preseason despite having George and Leonard on the floor. The team had a lot of expectations last season and was a potential rival to the Lakers in the championship picture but blew a 3-1 lead in the 2nd round of the postseason after falling against the Denver Nuggets. Head Coach Doc Rivers is out, replaced by Tyrone Lue. Veteran players added to the Clipps roster such as Serge Ibaka for their road of redemption. The Clippers were winless in the preseason getting a 0-3 record in the Western Conference.

Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers’ offense last season with 27.1 points per game along with 1.8 steals per match. Ivica Zubac led the rebounding with 7.5 per game while Lou Williams chipped in 5.6 dimes. Montrezl Harell who is now with the Lakers led the team in blocks last time with 1.1 per outing. The team is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games and 2-4 SU in their last 6 matches.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA pick is the Los Angeles Lakers. This would serve as a revenge game for the Clipps to take against the Lakers but despite losing a lot of their key players, the reigning champs are stacked. They have Montrezl who protected the Clippers’ rim last season while getting Schroder as well. Lebron and Davis will be unstoppable while it’s hard to trust Paul George who was supposed to help Kawhi, did not show up at all in the playoffs. This is a heated rivalry and the Lakers will not let this game slide by as they show why they are the Kings of the NBA predicted at 112-110.
