The two LA teams are going to face each other again after last week's Lakers' loss for a Thursday night NBA matchup. The Lakers have not won a single game after the All-Star Weekend. They are 0 out of 3, and they are looking to bounce back. The Lakers are sitting in 9th place of the Western Conference with a record of 27-34, and many believe that this game will go to the Clippers again.

Even with the absence of their superstar players Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers have fared pretty well up until this point. Los Angeles Clippers are currently sitting just one position above the Lakers with a 33-31.

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers are currently on a 3-game losing streak because of chemistry issues they have been having all season long. They will try their best to avoid a sweep by the Clippers, but many believe it is unlikely that their star Anthony Davis will not be playing in the game due to his foot injury. Kendrick Nunn will also be absent, and Avery Bradley is questionable to play on the Thursday matchup.

Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers may not have a single All-Star playing for the derby, but that won't stop them from fighting all out against the Lakers as they did last week. Even with the absence of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the Clippers line-up have proven worthy as they won six of the last seven games and are on a four-game winning streak.
