Los Angeles at Los Angeles

The Lakers are listed as the home team tonight, in a game that will be interesting to say the least. The Lakers are back home after their road trip, and are clinging to a tie with Denver for the final playoff spot in the West. It has become apparent to everyone in the NBA that the Lakers have no chance of holding off the Nuggets down the stretch, and really have little chance at catching the Grizzlies. The Lakers are 0-8 ATS at home after covering 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread over the last 3 seasons. The Clippers are not as bad as people think, and the Lakers are not as good as people think. Six points seems like a gift. This game should go down to the wire. Two starson the Clips yet again tonight.
