The Los Angeles Lakers play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
With a four-game winning streak, the Lakers look to continue surging against their crosstown rivals. However, they will do so coming off an overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday that may have depleted their energy.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis played 38 and 42 minutes, respectively, in Utah. Therefore, it is unknown whether they will suit up on Wednesday. Without even one of them, the Lakers would have a hard time defeating a deep Clippers squad.
As of now, the Lakers sit in seventh place in the Western Conference with a 41-38 record, while the Clippers are in sixth place at 41-38. The Clippers hold the tiebreaker by virtue of a 3-0 advantage in the season series.
A win would catapult the Purple and Gold into fifth place, at least for the moment, making this another immensely crucial game for the team.
