Clippers vs Lakers preview

Clippers

The visitors will be facing their city rivals looking to advance to the NBA playoffs without having to take part in the Play-In Tournament.

Tyronn Lue’s men, who defeated the Chicago Bulls in their last game (124-112), are sitting fifth in the Western Conference (40-36) and they depend on themselves to finish among the best six teams.

Lakers

Meanwhile, the Lakers, who are also aiming to get to the playoff round and avoid the Play-In, will try to emerge victorious in the clash of the LA franchises.

Darwin Ham’s men are the ninth-best team (37-38) in the West, but they could still grab one of the top six spots if they manage to win all of their remaining games.

However, a hard-fought battle for the playoffs is expected in the last games, as there are quite a few teams with very similar records fighting to get to the playoffs.
