Austin Reaves (SG) vs. Amir Coffey (SG)
Austin Reaves has been key to the Lakers’ plays throughout the current season by participating in all 34 games and recording an average of 18.5 points in each game. He has dual threat capabilities, as evidenced by his 6.1 assists and 2.5 assist to turnover ratio. He shows potential to be a rising star mainly due to his performance in clutch moments and his efficiency from the floor. However, he sometimes turns the ball over and fouls during defensive plays which can interfere with his rhythm, which he may be targeted on by the Clippers’ defensive strategies. In order to have a fighting chance, The Lakers will need Reaves to find balance between being a playmaker and scorer.
The Clippers have also witnessed Amir Coffey rise in importance due to his dependable performances, he has made significant contributions with his scoring efficiency and defensive ability. With the average of 10.4 points within 25.2 minutes, he also tends to do well at 3 point shooting with a percentage of 36.5%. This was last season, and his ability to block perimeter threats also pairs well with this capability. Although he is not as adept as Reaves, his ability to minimize mistakes with an average of 0.7 turnovers a game gives him the strength to be consistent. Reaves and the rest of the Lakers’ back-court will be efficiently controlled by him, allowing him to limit their production.
Lakers’ Recent Struggles and Bright Spots
The Lakers have endured a rollercoaster stretch, going 2-3 in their last five games. Despite wins against Brooklyn (102-101) and Miami (117-108), their losses to San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston reveal inconsistencies, particularly on defense. Turnovers and defensive lapses have hurt them in critical moments. However, their road win against Miami and a close loss to Houston show resilience. If the Lakers can tighten their rotations and limit fouls, they can challenge the Clippers’ home-court dominance.
Clippers’ Defensive Prowess at Home
The Clippers, winners of three straight, have surged into form with decisive victories over Portland, Brooklyn, and Miami. Their suffocating defense has been key, holding opponents to under 100 points in two of those games. At home, the Clippers are particularly formidable, going 5-0 ATS in their last five. While their losses to Denver and Minnesota earlier this month highlight vulnerabilities against elite teams, their ability to control pace and dominate the boards gives them a clear edge against the Lakers.

Their defense and finishing ability makes them a force to contend with, while the Lakers on the other hand have shown inconsistency on turnovers and perimeter defense. Then again, assuming Reaves is able to take advantage of the seams presented in the Clippers backcourt alongside the Lakers bench, then maybe an upset is not entirely impossible.
