The Los Angeles Lakers completed their four-game homestand with a win over the Portland Trail Blazers and now face the Los Angeles Clippers as the designated road team at Crypto.Com Arena.
It’s the second matchup between the Clippers and Lakers since January 7, which was a thriller. However, Tuesday’s game sees the Lakers somewhat shorthanded as LeBron James was ruled out due to a lingering left ankle injury.
In James’ absence the Lakers figure to further lean on Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves as they look to remain undefeated in three meetings against the Clippers so far this season.
