Analysis
At 10:10 PM ET on Thursday, we will be playing the Los Angeles Clippers (546) minus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers (545). THE SITUATION: The Clippers (44-22) ended their three-game losing streak with a 105-100 victory at home against Toronto as an 11.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The Lakers (37-28) snapped a three-game losing streak with their 93-89 upset win against Denver as a 3.5-point underdog on Monday. The Clippers (44-22) ended their three-game losing streak with a 105-100 victory at home against Toronto as an 11.5-point favorite on Tuesday. REASONS TO TAKE THE CLIPPERS MINUS THE POINTS: The Clippers are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games after a straight-up win. And while they have not covered the point spread in five straight games, they have then covered the point spread in 10 of their last 11 games after failing to cover the point spread in five or six of their last seven games. And while that game finished below the 217.5 point total, they have then covered the point spread in 12 of their last 16 games at home after playing their last game Under the Total. The Clippers have covered the point spread in 12 of their last 17 games at the Staples Center. The Lakers held the Nuggets to just 43.9% shooting on Monday which was the best defensive effort in their last eight games. But they have failed to cover the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games after not allowing more than 90 points in their last game. The Lakers have also failed to cover the point spread in 4 straight games after a straight-up win — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 6 of their last 8 games after a point spread victory. The Lakers are the technical road team but they are playing on their shared home court with the Clippers at the Staples Center. They have failed to cover the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games at home with the Total set in the 210s — and they have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 home games as an underdog. They will be missing two important pieces to their offensive attack with both LeBron James and Dennis Schroder out for this game. FINAL TAKE: The Lakers have failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games as an underdog -- and they have failed to cover the point spread in 11 of their last 16 games against teams with a winning percentage of 60% or better. The Clippers have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 13 games against teams with a winning record. 10* NBA Thursday Late Show Bailout with the Los Angeles Clippers (546) minus the points versus the Los Angeles Lakers (545). Best of luck for us — Frank.
