1.87Tip and bets
The Lakers have exceeded the expectations of the fans in the current championship. The team from the City of Angels is showing excellent results after several unsuccessful seasons this year. And after Doncic's arrival, the team simply transformed. The Clippers, on the other hand, are playing at their level and are steadily advancing in the playoff standings. Redick's team will have to win the main Los Angeles derby after a series of successful fights.
Our prediction is that the Lakers will win with a handicap of (-2.5) points, taking into account overtime in 2.30
Betting on an individual total
The Lakers will have to release the optimal squad on the court. With all the leaders on the floor, the team from North Los Angeles is showing decent performance this season. The average score is 112.7. And in games at home it is slightly higher — 114.6. And this time the Lakers will be able to decently load the opponent's basket.
Our betting tip is that the Lakers' individual total is over 110.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
Bet on the first half
The Clippers have won the first quarter in their last nine out of ten games with the Lakers. The basketball players from Inglewood will start the game in a not very good mood after the unsuccessful last derby. There is no doubt that this time they will try to achieve victory in front of their fans. From the first minutes of the meeting, the players of Liu's team will show who is in charge on the floor and seize the initiative. However, this will not be enough for overall success.
Our prediction is a Clippers win in the first quarter in 1.88
