L.A. Clippers at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET
Lakers (+) over Clippers- This could get ugly early as the Lakers will be without Kobe Bryant who is still suffering with his torn Achilles' tendon and have seen Dwight Howard leave for Houston and Steve Nash is getting older and has ankle and neck issues. Pau Gasol now accepts the full-time roll at Center and the rest of the squad must pull together to handle the favored Clippers. The Clip's swept the season series last year while the Lakers are now the odd-man-out in Los Angeles. Incentive here goes with the home team. Take the LAKERS!
