Lakers vs. Trail Blazers Odds & Betting Predictions - February 21, 2025

“I think he’s in excellent shape right now, he’s worked himself from the last injury into really good shape right now, which has allowed him to play 31 minutes in Denver, in the altitude, against Joker”- Coach Billups Set to be without DeAndre Ayton for at least the last three weeks, coach Billups is going to need to put the rookie’s conditioning and toughness to the test and step up with getting the start with extended minutes. Clingan has a 21.91% rebounding rate (league-high) without Ayton and averages 14.4 rebounds per game when playing 24-30 minutes. He averages 11.7 REB Per-28 minutes (projecting lower for safety). As you can see, this is just a guy that needs minutes in order to produce for grabbing boards. With the Lakers now rolling out Jaxson Hayes and Alex Len at center, there is no Anthony Davis down low that are threats to put opposing centers in foul trouble and it will allow Clingan to control the paint. #PlayerProps
