Los Angeles has been dominant recently with a 7-3 record in their last ten games.

Lakers vs. Clippers Prediction
I love the Lakers in this game. They are rolling as of recently. They have both LeBron James and Anthony Davis back and healthy. Plus, both of them have been playing great basketball. Also, the Lakers are playing for something big they are playing to get out of the play-in game and want to move to the sixth seed. I think the Lakers pickup a win on the road in this one and beat the Clippers.
