Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The Clippers are fourth in the NBA defensively in points given up (108.6 per game), ninth in shooting allowed, and tenth at defending beyond the arc. The offense is 21st in scoring and 16th in 3-point shooting. They come off a 106-102 loss to these Lakers in a game that sailed UNDER 220. They've won four of their last five as a favorite. The Lakers are eighth in points given up (111.3 per game), tenth in shooting allowed, and eighth at defending beyond the arc. Fourth-leading scorer, starting guard Austin Reaves, left the last game with an injury and is doubtful. In addition, star Luka Doncic is listed as questionable with left calf injury management, as is LeBron James (ankle injury). The Lakers have gone six consecutive games UNDER the total, with the wagering value on the healthier Clippers to win a defensive duel. Take the Clippers/Lakers UNDER the total.
