The NBA just came back from All-Star Weekend last night, and we’re still left wondering if it was the last one where LeBron James will be a part of it. What we do know is that his Los Angeles Lakers host the battle of LA against Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. For the marquee matchup on ESPN, we’ve got our best Clippers vs. Lakers predictions for tonight.

To help you enjoy more than just Clippers vs. Lakers picks, and more than sports in general, actually, we’ve also hooked you up with a guaranteed Kalshi promo code bonus!

Clippers vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 2/20

Believe it or not, this is actually already the FOURTH time that we’re making Clippers vs. Lakers predictions this year! One of which was an NBA Cup Group Stage Game, and overall, it’s the Clippers that can come through for NBA expert picks regarding this matchup. However, there is plenty to keep in mind for this one specifically.

Firstly, we’ve seen Luka Doncic miss several games before the break. On the flip side, we did see Austin Reaves return. Who WON’T be part of any Clippers vs. Lakers picks are James Harden and Ivica Dubac, as they were moved at the trade deadline. Oh yeah, and the Clippers were just on the court last night!

They were hosting the Denver Nuggets, so these back-to-back games are no cake walk for a team in a weird limbo spot in terms of pushing for the playoffs and slightly rebuilding around Kawhi Leonard. Even still, we’ve broken things down to hook you up with a best bet from our Clippers vs. Lakers predictions!
 

 

 

Clippers vs. Lakers Best Bet: Lakers -6 (Use Kalshi To Make Picks On Anything)

When it comes to our favorite way to approach this cross-town rivalry, it’s actually one of the most basic. It also directly ties back to some of the factors that we just mentioned, starting with the fact that the Lakers didn’t have to play last night - that was just yet another day for Luka Doncic to get healthy.

Even Reaves and LeBron James absolutely needed extra time off, and the Clippers absences that we noted earlier are also significant for our Clippers vs. Lakers predictions. That’s because Harden averaged just under 23 points and 10 assists in the three previous meetings, and Zubac averaged a double-double.

Luka and LeBron also get up for this rivalry, averaging nearly 60 points combined against the Clippers so far this season. Look, we’re not saying we’re inspired by whatever that Jaxson Hayes dunk contest performance was, but we’re still on Lakers -6 (submit a trade with Kalshi prediction market) as the best bet from our Clippers vs. Lakers predictions.
