The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers duke it out at the Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been in decent shape lately as they’ve won four of their past seven games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after routing the Mavericks in a 112-98 road win on Sunday. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 30 points, nine rebounds and three assists, Paul George added 21 points with six rebounds and four assists while Norman Powell chipped in with 19 points off the bench. As a team, the Clippers shot 45 percent from the field and 12 of 28 from the 3-point line as they struggled to get going and trailed going into halftime, but the made the adjustments on defense and dominated the second half by 63-44 to make it look easy in the end.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have been in great shape as they’ve won eight of their last 12 games overall and they will be gunning for a third straight victory after beating the Trail Blazers in a 121-112 road win on Sunday. LeBron James led the team with 37 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, Thomas Bryant added 31 points with 14 rebounds while Dennis Schroder chipped in with 24 points and eight assists. As a team, the Lakers shot 52 percent from the field and 10 of 30 from the 3-point line as they looked to be dead in the water after getting outscored by 45-13 in the second quarter to trail by as many as 25 points, but they didn’t panic and simply dominated the second half by 75-41 to run down the deficit with time to spare.  

Looking at the betting trends, the Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games, 6-16-1 ATS in their last 23 games against a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

Head to head, the under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Los Angeles, the Clippers are 37-17 ATS in the last 54 meetings overall and the Clippers are 11-0 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles.

The Clippers will again be missing Luke Kennard and John wall, while the Lakers are missing Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis. The Lakers come in as the team in better form, but the Clippers have all their key players healthy and they just blew past the Mavericks with ease on Sunday. It’s always a battle when these two teams collide, but the Clippers are 11-0 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles and I think that trend continues here as the Clippers escape with the narrow win.
