The Clippers are favored by 5.5 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under is set at 225.5 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our NBA odds page). Before making any Clippers vs. Lakers picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past four seasons. The model went a stunning 88-60 on all top-rated NBA picks last season, returning more than $2,100. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows Lakers forward LeBron James is still one of the best players in the game in his 20th season. James boasts a well-rounded play-style that impacts the game both offensively and defensively. The four-time NBA Champion is a phenomenal facilitator with a diverse offensive repertoire. In the season opener, James dropped a team-high 31 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists.

The model also knows Clippers forward Paul George is a two-way force. George is extremely athletic and has an array of moves to get a bucket from inside and out. The seven-time All-Star can defend at a high level due to his excellent hands and footwork. He can also orchestrate the offense and dime his teammates at a high volume if needed. 

Now, it has set its sights on Clippers vs. Lakers. We can tell you the model is leaning Under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in over 50 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks.
