The LA Clippers need to come out swinging against their cross-town rivals. The season series is 1-2 for the Clippers, so they need to win tonight in order to tie the series record.
The Clippers possess the rest advantage in tonight’s matchup. They last played in a grounding loss to Houston on Wednesday. The Lakers played last night in a brutal defeat at the hands of the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors.
The matchup between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Rajon Rondo is exciting. Shai is Doc River’s new protege. Rondo is one of the key pieces on Doc’s 2008 Celtics championship team.
