Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum is listed as questionable with an ankle injury for tonight's game<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Los Angeles Lakers will be finishing up a back-to-back set on Wednesday night after capturing a 91-87 win over the New Jersey Nets as 8.5-point home favorites.\u00a0 The Lakers have won five of their last seven games, but have failed to cover the spread in any of those contests.\u00a0 The team nearly squandered a 17-point lead, as it played without starting center Andrew Bynum, who is listed as questionable for tonight\u2019s game in this intra-city rivalry.\u00a0 \u201cWe tend to relax a bit with a double-digit lead,\u201d commented Lakers coach Mike Brown.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 21-32 ATS on the season and the \u201cover\u201d is 29-24.<\/p>\n

The Lakers will look to star guard Kobe Bryant on the offensive end, as he\u2019s averaged 31.5 points in this last four games as a road player inside the Staplers Center against the Los Angeles Clippers.\u00a0 He came into last night\u2019s game leading the NBA in averaging 28.1 points per game.\u00a0 The series is split with each team winning a game apiece, as the designated home team has covered each contest.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Clippers are enjoying their longest win streak since capturing six wins in a row in March 1992, as they look to win the season series against their city rivals for the first time in 19 years.\u00a0 The Clippers are 20-8 at home this season, including a 13-6 mark versus Western Conference opponents.\u00a0 Power forward Blake Griffin managed to score 15 points and grab 16 rebounds for his 33rd double-double of the season in helping the team capture a resounding 94-75 win over the Dallas Mavericks as 4.5-point road underdogs on Monday night.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 4-2 ATS off an upset win as an underdog.<\/p>\n

The Clippers definitely have a major advantage in tonight\u2019s affair due to the recent success of the host in this series, as the home team has captured nine of the last 10 meetings.\u00a0 The team hopes that guard Randy Foye continues to be a force on the offensive end in replacement of veteran Chauncey Billups, as he\u2019s averaged 21.7 points over the last three games, including a season-high 28 points versus the Mavericks.\u00a0 Griffin has held his own in the paint, combining to score 48 points and grab 23 rebounds in the two earlier meetings.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Clippers due to their 5-1 ATS mark in their last six games, while the Lakers are 0-7 ATS following a straight-up win.<\/p>\n
