Clippers vs Lakers Same-Game Parlay Odds: 5.50
Odds available as of January 23rd 2024. Odds may now differ.
It’s a battle of LA at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night. The Clippers continue to look like true contenders since trading for James Harden. In stark contrast, even reaching the Play-In could be a big ask for the Lakers. LeBron James is out of tonight’s game, leaving the Lakers as sizeable underdogs in the latest NBA betting.

In this article:
Only three teams give up three-point shots at a higher rate than the Lakers. Paul George has seamlessly slotted into his role alongside James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, working his way into efficient scoring from all three levels.
George is one of the league’s best catch-and-shoot guys. He’s at almost 42% from beyond the arc for the season, and has cleared this line in eight of his last nine. The volume is going to be there to hit this over.
The Lakers offence is 6.3 points per 100 possessions worse without LeBron James (for a rating of 110.1). The Clippers slow the game down, which takes away a lot of the Lakers’ easier buckets in transition.
While the Clips are only a middling team by their defensive rating this year, they have the length to trouble Austin Reaves and sufficient size to at least trouble Anthony Davis.
In January, James Harden is averaging 9.9 assists (second-most in the Association). He’s at 15.1 potential assists over the last 11 games, and has cleared this line in nine of those.
A couple of eight-assist games of late might put some bettors off the over, but there’s still value here. The Lakers’ perimeter defence has its weakpoints, which means even a post-peak Harden can attack off the dribble and create shots for his teammates.
