Play at dawn with the Los Angeles Clippers battling for the best possible placement in the top eight in the western periphery to welcome the indifferent LA Lakers to a local derby.
Los Angeles Clippers:
The home side is overwhelming, with initial estimates almost certain they would stay out of octave. Still unlikely, it's like the finish of their season finds five places over the Lakers in the ranking of the western region. The whole of California was constantly on playoffs, with the exchange of their best Harris player before the trade deadline, doubting whether they would eventually make it to the three remaining months. Clipper playing very good basketball faced Harris' absence and as if he did not get that, it seems beyond securing the post-season ticket to avoid crossing with the Warriors. 8-2 is the winning streak, indicative of their excellent situation, Beverley is doubtful.
Los Angeles Lakers:
The least disappointing one can characterize the course that this year's guests have made. With Lebron James in his composition, the whole of California set the key goal of securing a ticket for the playoffs as early as it was. Injuries, misfortune, and a transcript in the middle of the season are the cause of this year's incalculable attempt to return to the postseason. Totally indifferent, lined up without Kuzma, Ingram, Ball, James, Bullock, Hart, Chandler.
Assessment:
In a diamond situation the two teams in Los Angeles. The game remains a derby, which I believe will prompt the hosts to pursue an emphatic victory, which is common to weak opponents. Too many absences for the Lakers, so I drive to ace with handicap -10.5 points at odds of 1.83 at Bet365.
