The Lakers have gone 5-2, including putting together a four-game win streak, since acquiring Luka Doncic, and now they're starting to convince people they could be contenders to win the Western Conference. They can add to their resume tonight with a win against their in-city rivals.

Clippers vs. Lakers Best NBA Prop Bets

Los Angeles Clippers Best NBA Prop Bet

Kawhi Leonard UNDER 5.5 Rebounds (-115) via FanDuel

The Lakers' rebounding numbers have skyrocketed since acquiring Doncic, including grabbing 52.1% of rebounds in their last three games. We're going to try to take advantage of that tonight by taking the UNDER on Kawhi Leonard's rebounding total.

Los Angeles Lakers Best NBA Prop Bet

LeBron James OVER 1.5 Steals (+160) via BetMGM

The Clippers have had a turnover problem this season. They cough the ball up on 15.5% of their possessions, which is the third highest rate in the NBA. LeBron James recorded three steals in both of their previous games against the Clippers this season, so I won't hesitate to bet on him to do it a third time.

Clippers vs. Lakers Prediction and Pick

The Lakers may not be at full strength tonight, but I still have faith that they can cover this number. The Clippers are a great defensive team, but their turnovers have been a big issue for them, and Los Angeles has too many ways they can take advantage of that.

The Lakers head into tonight ranking ninth in effective field goal percentage, while the Clippers rank just 16th.

Trust in the Lakers to at least cover the spread tonight as underdogs.

Pick: Lakers +4.5 (-114) via FanDuel
