How to Watch LA Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers
Slowly, the Clippers have come back from the dead in terms of the NBA Playoff picture, as they've gone 20-7 over their last 27 games to pull themselves up to the No. 10 spot, which would secure them a place in the play-in game. They went into the All-Star break having won three out of four, including a wonderful 105-102 road win against the Houston Rockets. In the win, all five starters scored in double digits, led by Kawhi Leonard's 27 points, adding 12 rebounds, four assists, and four steals.
Conversely, the Lakers started 15-4 and have gone just 18-17 since, sinking back to No. 5 in the Western Conference. Injuries have been an issue, with Luka Doncic missing 12 games, LeBron James missing 18, and Austin Reaves missing 26. The Lakers’ last appearance before the break was a successful one, as they defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124-104 behind a triple-double from LeBron, scoring 28 points with 10 rebounds and 12 assists.
