Why the Clippers can cover
Center Ivica Zubac is a natural and calm presence down low. Zubac is nimble and mobile with good footwork in the post. The 2016 second-round pick loves to roam around the rim and constantly has put-backs and alley-oops. The 25-year-old is averaging 10.2 points, 11.1 rebounds, and is shooting 62 percent from the floor. On Nov. 4, Zubac finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds.
Guard John Wall is a nice spark off the bench. Wall is still aggressive and quick in the open floor. The five-time All-Star loves to play downhill and can kick it out to the open man with regularity. The Kentucky product is averaging 12.8 points and 4.9 assists per game. Wall has dropped 15-plus points in three of his last seven outings.
Why the Lakers can cover
Forward Anthony Davis impacts the game in multiple different ways. Davis is fearless in the paint with the wingspan and instincts to be a legitimate rim-protector. The eight-time All-Star can hit from mid-range with ease and win in the post. Davis is averaging 23.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals, and two blocks per game. On Oct. 30, he recorded 23 points and 15 boards.
Forward LeBron James is a freight train when he’s in attack mode. James fights through contact consistently and has amazing finishing skills. The 18-time All-Star is an outstanding passer and floor general. He’s averaging 24.3 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per contest. On Nov. 6, he amassed 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
