The Los Angeles Lakers host the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers improved to 2-2 on Monday with a victory over the Orlando Magic, albeit in ugly and sluggish fashion. Anthony Davis, after failing to score in the second half of last week’s season opener against the Denver Nuggets, has been utterly dominant, while LeBron James has saved his best basketball for crunch time.
The Clippers are 3-1 after blowing out that same Magic team on Tuesday. They traded for former regular-season MVP James Harden on Monday night, and of course, they and their fans are now thinking they will steamroll the rest of the league.
Dating to the 2012-13 season, the Purple and Gold are a dismal 7-36 against the Clippers. They haven’t defeated the Clippers head-to-head since late in the 2019-20 campaign inside of the Walt Disney World Resort bubble.
