The final Battle of Los Angeles in the regular season takes place on Friday night, as the Clippers visit the Lakers. The visitors have the upper hand in the series so far, winning 2 of the first 3 games. However, both teams enter this game in similar form, having each won 6 of their last 10 contests.

Clippers vs Lakers parlay pick: Over 225.5 (-110)
The Clippers will be on the second night of a back-to-back, which will encourage the Lakers to push the tempo. Over the last 10 games they have been in the top half of the league in pace, so should be more than capable of doing just that. Neither team has been elite at getting stops, however, ranking 15th and 18th in defensive rating during that stretch. When playing on no nights of rest, fatigue tends to affect the visitors — with the Clippers allowing 3 more points per game compared to their season average. Against a healthy Lakers team that has all 3 of Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves, do not be surprised to see the hosts push toward 120 points. That should give the over a great chance to hit.

Clippers vs Lakers SGP pick: Rui Hachimura Over 9.5 points (-112)
In 2 meetings against the Clippers this season, Hachimura is averaging 12.5 points per game. He has also managed to hit double-digit points in 5 of his last 7 games. He has been incredibly efficient shooting the ball from deep so far this month, knocking down 50% of his attempts. With all of the Lakers’ offensive leaders back in the fold, Hachimura will face less defensive attention and should play a major role as a floor spacer. Doncic and James are more than capable of finding him open. He has attempted 8 or more field goals in 5 straight games and if he continues that streak here, his 56.3% shooting from the field this month will likely set him up perfectly for the over.

Clippers vs Lakers SGP pick: Derrick Jones Jr. Over 1.5 made threes (+120)
Derrick Jones Jr. has come back from injury and is starting to have a big impact for the Clippers. One of the ways he has been able to do this is by spacing the floor. In the month of February he is knocking down a respectable 36.4% of his attempts. He also comes into this game having hit the over on this line in 3 straight contests. He will be taking on a Lakers team that has been letting opponents get their shots off from deep. Over the last 10 games they are 23rd in opponent 3-point attempts per game. Jones Jr. has attempted 4 or more shots from deep on 9 occasions this season and has been able to knock down at least 2 of them in 7 of those games. It looks like the Lakers will provide him with such shooting opportunities today, too.
