After securing the NBA Championship two months ago, the Los Angeles Lakers’ title defense gets underway Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.
After opening at -2.5, the Lakers have ticked to -3 (click here for the latest Clippers-Lakers odds), and our NBA PRO Projections have found an edge worth betting in this Opening Night matchup.
NBA Picks: Clippers vs. Lakers
As mentioned above, the Lakers have settled as 3-point favorites over the Clippers and our NBA betting model suggests that number is too long.
We project the spread to be Lakers -1.5, showing there is value with the underdog Clippers.
The difference between Clippers +3 and +1.5 translates to a 5.9% edge, earning a B grade from our new NBA PRO Projections feature.
In fact, we can make that edge even bigger by simply visiting The Action Network’s NBA Live Odds Page and grabbing the Clips at +3.5 at one of the many sportsbooks offering that number, like FanDuel.
