The Los Angeles Lakers are nearing full strength, and with LeBron James back on the court, they should add to the Los Angeles Clippers’ extensive woes this season.
My Clippers vs. Lakers predictions and NBA picks may look like they're doubting LeBron James, but their real intention is to recognize how he's played since returning to action.
Clippers vs Lakers prediction
Clippers vs Lakers best bet: LeBron James Under 1.5 threes (+120)
LeBron James has taken only seven 3-point attempts in his two games on the court this season, returning from a sciatica frustration. That is not necessarily a bad thing. James had dished out 20 assists in those two games.
Spending 14 games on the bench dealing with something as aggravating as a nerve issue could certainly lead to James needing some time to find his shooting rhythm. That would be entirely logical.
And James is savvy enough, obviously, to still be productive on the court. He went 0-for-4 from deep on Monday night, but he still scored 17 points and handed out eight assists in 34 minutes.
Until LeBron gets into the mode of taking five 3-pointers per game, this Under will hold value. It is not a criticism of him. It is simply recognizing the reality on the court.

Clippers vs Lakers same-game parlay
This exact SGP cashed in the Los Angeles Lakers' last game, and it fell one 3-pointer too many away from cashing in LeBron's other game this season. That is obviously a small sample size, but focusing on James' inclination to pass rather than shoot right now creates value in parlays early in his return.
