Lakers vs. Clippers Odds & Betting Predictions - February 5, 2025

🥩

🔥 Clippers: The Best Bet at Home The Clippers lead the NBA in ATS cover % and ATS +/- as home favorites. Even stronger in this spot: 6-1 ATS (85%) in conference matchups. Meanwhile, the Lakers are just 1-3 ATS on the road in scheduled back-to-backs. LBJ is a GTD—hasn’t missed a game since Dec 28—but worth monitoring for potential early value.

The Clippers face the Lakers who are still incredibly thin on the interior after trading Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic. As a result, I’m targeting Ivica Zubac. The Lakers were already one of the worst interior defenses in the league and were allowing their opponents to score the fourth-most points in the paint per game. On the season, Zubac is averaging 15.3 ppg and has exceeded 14.5 in 55%% of games He scored 21 against the Lakers a few weeks ago and that was with Anthony Davis. The paint should be wide open for him. Kawhi’s return impacted Harden and Powell more than anyone else. Zubac actually maintained a similar Usage and has seen his scoring jump by about 10% playing alongside of Kawhi. I’ll grab over 14.5.

Powell has gone over this line in 9 of his last 10 games and 16 of his last 20 while averaging 17.2 FGA during that span. In addition, he gets a matchup with the Lakers who have been susceptible to opposing SGs guarding them at a bottom 5 rate in the league. I’ll take Powell to exceed 20.5 points here.
