Clippers Vs Lakers Lineup
Moneyline (ML)
The Lakers (-176) are the moneyline favorite, but considering this is just the second game of the “NBA restart,” the CLIPPERS (+155) appear to be the better moneyline bet. These are the best two teams in the Western Conference and each side has had success against one another this season. Therefore, the smart play is to TAKE THE CLIPPERS (+155) and the value.

Lakers Clippers Line Movement
While picking the Clippers on the moneyline provides better value, picking the CLIPPERS (+4.5) to cover the spread makes a lot of sense, too, if you expect a close game. With so much unknown about both teams in the “NBA restart,” it’s wise to TAKE THE POINTS and the value here. It is worth noting that the Clippers covered in six of their last eight games before the season was suspended. While they will have some injuries to navigate through in this contest, getting 4.5 points is just too much to pass on.
Over/Under (O/U)
Lakers Clippers Line Vegas
The total is 215.5 with -110 on both sides. It feels low, considering both teams were averaging more than 114 points per game this season. While it’s fair to expect some sloppy play from both sides, these are two of the best offenses in the NBA. Expect a ton of points to be scored in this one with the OVER 215.5 (-110) hitting in Thursday’s nightcap.
