In the two earlier season matchups the Lakers combined to shoot 19-77 from behind the arc, including a 9-45 effort in the first game of the season. They play at the 6th slowest pace in the league, while the Lakers play at the 2nd fastest. The Clippers shoot 37.5% from behind the arc as a team (6th in the NBA) on the season, while limiting their opponents to 35.0% from distance. The win was the Clippers' 9th straight over the Lakers and dropped them to 2-9 on the season -- a hole they've been fighting to dig themselves out of ever since. This trio has logged 105 minutes together over that stretch of games and those lineups have been absolutely dominant, posting an offensive rating of 128.2, a defensive rating of 100.4, and are a +62 in the box score. He's also shown a penchant for creating shots for himself, averaging 1.17 points per play in isolation while shooting 72.7% on shots in the restricted area with nearly half (47%) of those shots unassisted.

LeBron James looks to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a win over the Clippers and snap their nine-game losing streak to their rivals.

Dennis Schroder has also proven to be an important piece as his play has improved, but with the Clippers employing a large backcourt it will be interesting to see how effective he will be. How the Lakers match up with the Clippers defensively will also be worth watching. It will be up to Bryant to ensure he doesn’t dominate the glass the way Steven Adams did against the Lakers on Friday night.
