The Lakers have recently separated themselves from many of their Western Conference counterparts in the standings, currently sitting in third place in the conference as the season nears its home stretch.

It's been the most successful regular season for Los Angeles since they won the championship in the 2019-20 campaign, and Luka Doncic appears to have found his footing after taking a few games to adjust to his new Purple and Gold threads.

The Clippers, meanwhile, have also performed above expectations this year after losing Paul George in the offseason, and there's a chance that Los Angeles could find themselves as one of the conference's top five seeds when all is said and done.

In any case, the Clippers and Lakers are slated to tip off at 9:30 PM ET from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
