Los Angeles Clippers over Los Angeles Lakers: No travel involved for this game. Yes the crowd will be pro Lakers but it is virtually a home game for both teams. Few factors inflating this line. You will always pay a premium to bet on James and the Lakers based on past reputation. Secondly Lac will play their 4th game in 6 nights. However yesterday was nothing more than a glorified scrimmage as they cruised past Ny. Expectations are Lal bounce back from a bad road loss in Phx however the Lal have been playing badly for awhile. Lal are 3-8 in their last 11. Give the defensive edge to Lal while the all important control the boards rebounding goes to Lac. I expect the s/u winner to be in doubt to the end with the points offered a substantial cushion.
