The Los Angeles Lakers have a chance to increase their 5.5-game cushion when they see the No. 2 seed the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, but the Clippers are the only team that has beaten the Lakers twice this season (102-112, 106-111). Moreover, LeBron James has struggled against the Clippers this season, as his regular-season stats are 25.6 PPG | 49.9 FG% | 34.7 3PT%, but the stats vs. Clips 20.5 PPG | 37.2 FG% | 17.6 3PT%. Furthermore, the Clippers rank third and the Lakers fourth in offensive rating this season, so there is no surprise that the bookies choose the Clippers as the favourites for today’s game.
