AAA's *Lakers/Clippers* BATTLE OF L.A. LATE NIGHT BAIL-OUT!
(NBA) LA Lakers vs. LA Clippers,
Point Spread: 17.50 | -105.00 LA Lakers (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: 17.50 | -105.00 LA Lakers (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* BAIL-OUT on the LA Lakers.
I think that the Lakers will keep this one competitive enough to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the large spread they've been afforded in the Battle of LA. The Lakers have lost ten of the last 11 in the series, including a 106-78 beatdown on Sunday, the teams franchise-record 56th defeat. But I think this sets up as a bit of a mental letdown spot for the Clippers, who enjoy a critical three entire days off between their next game vs. Memphis on Saturday: "I don't fully understand the context or the history of everything between the two organizations, but it doesn't matter to me that much, to be honest," assessed first-year Lakers guard Jeremy Lin after the crushing defeat on Sunday. "What happened tonight is definitely not a good feeling, so we want to try to make sure that doesn't happen again on Tuesday." Note that the Lakers are 19-17 ATS this season after allowing 105 points or more, while the Clippers are just 16-22 ATS in all home games and only 5-8 ATS after a divisional contest. In my opinion, all signs do indeed point to the LAKERS as the savvy move in this contest.
