How things might unfold
Lakers can play good basketball with and without LeBron. They have depth in their line up with players like Pope and Stephenson coming off the bench. Also, Lonzo is showing significant signs of improvement.
Clippers are one of the most surprising teams this season and have been very impressive. They also have a deep line-up with players like Lou Williams and Harrell coming off the bench.
It will be an exciting contest and will go down the wire. Lakers showed a lot of heart and courage last night without LeBron. I am predicting lakers to win this one with a very close margin.
Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers to beat Los Angeles Clippers
Guess the Bulls players in this quiz and it's not going to be easy!
