LAC will lock horns against Los Angeles Lakers in NBA 2021-22 on Friday, 04 February 2022 at 08:30 AM IST

The Lakers come off a thrilling 99-94 win against the Portland Trail Blazers. After a stunning first quarter, the Purple and Gold allowed the Blazers to come into the game.

However, Anthony Davis and Carmelo Anthony stopped their resurgence as they helped snap the Lakers three-game losing streak.

The Clippers, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 122-116 defeat against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Amir Coffey and Reggie Jackson combined to score 48 points, but their efforts went in vain as Isaiah Jackson led the way for the Pacers with 26 points.

LA Lakers

• The LA Lakers have massively underperformed this season. They are only ranked ninth in the West, and hold a 25-27 record.
• The Purple and Gold have had issues with their defense, which has cost them a lot of games. Another problem that has plagued the team is injuries. Anthony Davis recently returned from injury, but LeBron James suffered a knee injury that will keep him out for a few games.
• Their big 3 of Russell Westbrook, Davis and James have not played significant minutes together, which is why the Purple and Gold have struggled for consistency. Against the Clippers, the Lakers will hope to continue their winning ways as they seek to climb up the standings.

Key Player - Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis has been in great form since his return from injury. He scored 30 points and grabbed 15 rebounds against the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man is an elite defender, and almost guarantees 20 points every night.

LA Clippers

• Despite all their injuries and setbacks, the Clippers have looked good of late. They are placed eighth in the West, and are 26-27 on the season, having won five of their last ten games.
• Their youngsters and bench players have come alive as the Clippers look to make a run in the playoffs.
• The likes of Amir Coffey and Reggie Jackson have especially fared well. Against their city rivals, the Clippers will hope to win and return to .500 on the challenge as they look to usurp the seventh-placed Minnesota Timberwolves.

Key Player - Reggie Jackson

Reggie Jackson comes into this game off a 21-point outing against the Pacers. He looked great in that game, which is a great sign for the Clippers, as the 31-year-old did not play at his usual level in the last few games.

Jacksons offensive skillset is well-known. He can go on scoring outbursts to extricate the LA Clippers out of tough situations. Jackson could need to do that against the LA Lakers, who are coming off a morale-boosting win in their last outing.
