NBA Fantasy Basketball Guide: Sleeper Picks For Lakers Vs. Clippers
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports

The Los Angeles Lakers completed their four-game homestand with a win over the Portland Trail Blazers and now face the Los Angeles Clippers as the designated road team at Crypto.Com Arena.

It’s the second matchup between the Clippers and Lakers since January 7, which was a thriller. However, Tuesday’s game sees the Lakers somewhat shorthanded as LeBron James was ruled out due to a lingering left ankle injury.

In James’ absence the Lakers figure to further lean on Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves as they look to remain undefeated in three meetings against the Clippers so far this season.

Austin Reaves: 1.5 made 3-pointers

Reaves bounced back from an 0-for-6 effort behind to arc to knock down three of four attempts against the Trail Blazers. He’s averaging 1.5 made 3-pointers per game this season but missed all three attempts against the Clippers on January 7.
