The Lakers’ ability to cover


Forward James is running an excellent campaign. James, an 18-time All-Star, continues to display his incredible offensive versatility by scoring from any point on the court and is difficult to stop when he is attacking downhill.

James has 8.5 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 29.8 points, which places him sixth in the NBA. He recorded 37 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists in his previous game.

Center Thomas Bryant is a powerful painter who plays with a lot of energy. Bryant, an Indiana native who averages 12.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 64% from the field, has demonstrated his ability to finish around the rim and leap high.

On the year, he has recorded nine double-doubles. Bryant recorded a season-high 31 points and 14 rebounds on January 22.

The Clippers’ ability to cover Wing Norman Powell is a fearless lane attacker with excellent quickness, good defensive presence, and exceptional leaping ability.

On 4.6 attempts per game, the UCLA graduate makes 42% of his 3-point tries. Powell scores 16.4 points per game and has scored 25 or more in two of his previous three contests. Powell recorded 30 points, four rebounds, and three assists on January 18.

Center Ivica Zubac is a quick and athletic big man in the paint who is always battling for position to grab boards and hang around the rim for simple putbacks.

With 10.2 points per game, the second-round pick from 2016 is seventh in the league in both rebounding (10.4 and field goal percentage (61.3). Zubac has so far amassed 17 double-doubles.

How to select the Lakers vs. Clippers game

The teams are expected to score a total of 236 points, according to SportsLine’s model, which leans Over on the total. A side hits well over 50% of the time, according to the model. The pick is only available at SportsLine.
