Notes
The Clippers have matched up well with the Lakers in the past few years, but the Lakers have a rest advantage and are healthier, so this will be an uphill struggle for the Clippers. The Clippers might actually be more athletic than the Lakers, so maybe they can get the drop on the Lakers in the same way so many younger teams have done to them over the years.
