Best NBA Player Prop Bets Picks & Predictions for Thursday: Clippers vs. Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Neither of these teams had the season they hoped for in 2022 due to injuries to their star players. However, they still have the potential to be two of the best teams in the NBA this year.
The one concern about the Lakers is their lack of depth. That can hurt them late in the game, as we saw against the Warriors on Tuesday. The Lakers were in the game until the third quarter when they started to slow down. That makes this game perfect for Ivica Zubac, who has averaged over 8.5 points per game in four of the last five seasons, to score some easy buckets. Zubac can benefit from the Lakers’ lack of depth this season.
Ivica Zubac Over 8.5 Points (-110)
