Lakers vs Clippers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Crypto.com Arena at 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, November 9, 2022.
Why Bet The Under:
✅ These teams are simply abysmal offensively at this point in time. They have the two worst offensive ratings in the NBA so far this season, which will make scoring in big numbers difficult to accomplish.
✅ These two teams played earlier this season, and they combined for just 200 points. In that 103-97 game, Kawhi Leonard did play and scored 14 points in 21 minutes. Here, he will not play, which will make it even harder for the Clippers to score consistently.
✅ The Clippers have gone under the total more than any team in the NBA so far this season. They have gone under the total in nine of their 11 games so far this year, and will continue going under here.

Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently the third worst team in the NBA by record, coming into this contest with the Clippers at 2-8. They have lost three straight games coming into this matchup with the Clippers, and their offense has been a huge reason why.
Los Angeles’ purple and gold squad has the worst offensive rating in the NBA, thanks in large part to their terrible three-point shooting. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are not getting much help, if any, in most games. If they cannot get some of that help starting with this contest, the Lakers’ woes could continue.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers got a really nice win in their last game before Election Day. They beat the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, dealing the Cavs their first loss on American soil of the season. Here, they will aim for a second straight win against a Lakers team that is positively reeling.
Just like the Lakers, though, the Clippers are dealing with a ton of offensive issues. They have the second worst offensive rating in the NBA, better only than the Lakers in that department. While Paul George has been excellent early in the year, the lack of Kawhi Leonard on the floor with him has made this a tough year thus far.
