Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview
I’m also going to take a contrarian underdog in the 2nd game of the day, taking the Clippers +2.5 points. I expect them to come out with a point to prove this season and this game represents the perfect opportunity to do so.
While the Lakers may have won a mickey mouse ring last season, you can make a strong argument that the Clippers are the better side. They are even in most of the betting power rankings, meaning that getting 2.5 points on a neutral court is great value.
The Lakers perimeter defence took a step back this off-season and I can see them struggling to guard the Clippers’ all-star wing duo.
Overall, I think the Clippers come out ready here and pull off the opening night upset. Even if this one is close late, the 2.5 points of extra value gives us a decent shot at a backdoor cover.
