There's no doubt that the Staples Center is unequivocally the home of the Clippers in 2013/14 and they'll look to prove that one final time on Sunday against the once-proud Lakers.

The Clippers want to bounce back after a 107-113 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday night. Prior to that Lob City had won four straight road games including three as underdogs. The Staples Center proves to be a great place to get right as LA has posted a 31-6 record in front of their home fans this season. The Clippers will have two full days of rest heading into Sunday's game which bodes well for improving on their 2-1 record against the Lakers this season.

The Lakers have lost 7 of 10 games from March 14th to April 2nd while covering the number just four times. Over those 10 games the Lakers have allowed 113.2 PPG, which doesn't look pretty going up against the Clippers who rank 2nd in offensive efficiency for the season. The Lakers also have the NBA's worst rebounding rate which means DeAndre Jordan and his 13.8 rebounds per game should control the boards.

After escaping with a 116-103 win in the season opener the Lakers have been blown out in consecutive games against the Clips. LAC won 123-87 on January 10th followed by a 142-94 debacle on March 6th. The Clippers have covered by 26 and 37 points in those games.
