I’m trying to keep the momentum going with tonight’s ESPN doubleheader. I’ve prepared a SGP bet for the Clippers vs Lakers game, which tips off at 10:00 pm ET.
Wednesday is a pretty busy day in the NBA with 13 games being played. We will have picks for every one of them in our NBA predictions, so be sure to visit. Let’s dive into my SGP bet now!
LA Clippers ML (+164)
Anthony Davis to score 25+ points (-105)
LeBron James over 1.5 threes made (-120)
Same Game Parlay odds: +1030
LA Clippers ML (+164)
The Clippers made headlines on Halloween by trading for James Harden and judging by their win over Orlando, giving away several role players hasn’t had a negative effect on the roster. They are 3-1 SU on the season and with Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard all finally healthy and playing, they have every right to hope for a win tonight. The Lakers barely scraped through against the Magic, and their wins this season were by just 5 and 3 points. They are yet to cover the spread in 4 attempts, so it’s a bit puzzling that the oddsmakers have them favored by 5 points. The Clippers have thoroughly owned them over the past 3 seasons, winning 11 straight matchups with an average margin of victory of 11 points. I’ll take the Clippers to win outright.

Anthony Davis to score 25+ points (-105)
Mr Inconsistency, as some had started calling him, has had a pretty consistent start to the new season. Anthony Davis is averaging 25.8 points per game for the 2-2 Lakers. After dropping 30 points in back-to-back games against Phoenix and Sacramento, he had an efficient 26 and 19 rebounds in the win over Orlando. He has no other choice but to show up tonight, otherwise the Lakers will be toast.
He has cleared this line 3 times in the last 5 meetings with the Clippers, while averaging 24 points on better than 55% shooting. The Clippers are somewhat thin at the center position with Ivica Zubac being their starter, and AD has the agility and quickness advantage over him. Expect the Lakers to look for their big man early and often in this one.
LeBron James over 1.5 threes made (-120)
He might not be the athlete he once was and that’s fine, because LeBron James is capable of hurting teams in more ways than one. He has had some spectacular performances against the Clippers,even at his advanced age, and over the last 5 meetings he’s averaging 31 points against them. In particular his 3-point shooting has been a highlight, and he’s at 4.2 makes from distance during that stretch on an impressive 45.7%.
In last season’s January game against the Clippers he exploded for 46 points while knocking down 9 threes. Through 4 games this year he’s averaging 30.4% of makes from downtown, and he’s cleared this line in his last 2 games against Sacramento and Orlando. I’m confident he will deliver at least two makes from deep in this game.
