The LA Clippers are set to play the Los Angeles Lakers today to renew the crosstown rivalry.
Unfortunately, this potential matchup hasn’t quite lived up to what it was supposed to be, and was flexed out of its primetime spot on ESPN. The Suns-Warriors game takes its place.
Both teams aren’t playing how they planned on performing to start the year. The Clippers are sitting at .500 (11-11), and the Lakers are 12-11. The Clippers still don’t have Kawhi Leonard back and playing, but still have a chance due to how disappointing the Lakers have been this season.
The Lakers come in with their stars healthy.

Clippers vs Lakers Prediction
Clip City’s going to get this win. They’ll get Paul George back from his day off to rest, and are going to be coming out with a lot of intensity. They know what’s at stake here and are always playing with a chip on their shoulder when it comes to the battle of LA.
Despite the Clippers being the better team last year, the Lakers’ brand still pushed Staples to give them an easier schedule this year. The Clippers are known for using that treatment as disrespect and play well against the Lakers. The Clips swept the Lakers last season, as they always show up to play the Lakers hard.
