LA Clippers vs LA Lakers Prediction: the Clippers Should Snatch Out Victory

Prediction for the NBA match between LA Clippers vs LA Lakers, which will take place on February 29th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After nearly reaching the Western Conference lead, Tyronn Lue's team has slumped a bit. This is most likely a planned slump unrelated to tactical problems. The Clippers have four losses in their last seven games. However, recall that LAC lost to teams from the Western playoff zone - Sacramento (107:123), New Orleans (106:117), Minnesota (100:121), and Oklahoma (107:129). They also beat Golden State (130:125) on the road.

Darvin Ham's team also had a bad stretch, failing two of their last three games. First, without LeBron James, the Lakers couldn't do anything against Golden State away - 110:128. Then, with LeBron already at home, they outplayed San Antonio 123:118 and then failed the test in Phoenix, losing to the Suns 113:123. In the Western Conference standings, the Lakers sit 10th. There is little doubt about the Lakers getting into the play-in, but there are big questions about getting into the playoffs directly.

The Lakers still haven't improved their defense, conceding a lot, even though they can often attack very effectively. This gives us reason to bet on high efficiency in the upcoming game, as the Clippers do not dictate their own terms but adjust to the style of a particular opponent. The Lakers will offer to play fast, and the Clippers will respond - bet on TO on points and assists. In recent weeks, almost all of the Lakers' games have ended with 60 or more assists. Also, we believe that the Clippers will win. Overall, Tyronn Lue's team outclass the Lakers and won't just give them the season series.
