Their couldn’t have been a more befitting encounter to thrown open the doors of the Christmas period in NBA 2019-20 than the bitter rivalry which is set to resume today. When Western Conference’s enthralling sides, Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers battle it out on the court for this one, we are set to be indulged in a resounding affair between two sides who are bound to up the ante given the identity of their opposition.
And what is set to make this already enthralling clash an even more intriguing affair are the momentous ramifications stemming from the encounter for either side. While a win takes paramount precedence for either side given the identity of the nature what adds to its riveting nature is the fact that a win would massively thrust these two sides towards their aspirations in the Western Conference.
Currently on a three game losing spree after earlier torching their way at a tearaway speed to the top of the conference, Los Angeles Lakers have been immensely hurt by the absence of James and Anthony Davies from their ranks. The side have made from bleak, meek and tepid viewing recently, defeated 128-104 by Denver Nuggets the last time around.
With the eclectic duo set to be back for this one though, the side have been served a massive shot in the arm as they get ready to fight it out with LA Clippers today. Where the Lakers are looking to curb their harrowing spree at the moment, the Clippers elsewhere are looking to further boost themselves from the fourth place they occupy at the moment. Also, with them defeated 118-114 the last time around by Oklahoma, anything else than a win today would massively deter the side from challenging for a spot in the pinnacles of the conference.
