Los Angeles Clippers»
The Clippers have been quite successful this season, which has not been a sensation. The squad is really strong, and the coaches have great ambitions. Still, there are failures for the Clippers during the season, which does not allow them to climb to the top of the table. The team is currently in third place in the Western Conference. In the last meetings, the team sank due to an injury to the leaders and lost several games in a row, but with the return of Leonard, the situation was corrected and a victory over Toronto came.
Los Angeles Lakers»
The team had a lot of injuries, the most significant leaders, including James, were eliminated, so the Lakers players could not count on good results in past meetings. So the Lakers failed several meetings in a row, they lost twice in a row to Dallas, and after that they could not do anything with Washington, and yet they were able to win on the road to Orlando, in the last game they were defeated by Sacramento, but there is also happy news, the leaders began to return and have already brought a victory over Denver.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
-
Clippers - Ibaka (back injury).
Lakers-Dudley (knee injury), Schroeder (calf injury), James (ankle injury).
Statistics and figures
- The last match between these teams ended in a 104-86 victory for the Clippers.
- The Lakers have won just two games in their last five meetings.
- The last two meetings between these teams ended with the Clippers winning.
Forecast
It is difficult to single out a favorite in this game, because both teams have shown excellent performance this season, but recently they have not had stability. The Lakers have been getting in shape since the recent crisis. In turn, the Clippers are also approaching the playoffs with the leaders restored and are set only for wins. I think the hosts will be stronger again.
