The Los Angeles Clippers are taking on LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. This is the first meeting between these two this season, and these matchups have been highly anticipated since the days of Blake Griffin and Lob City. The anticipation for this game is high, especially considering just a half-game separates the Clippers and Lakers in the Western Conference standings.

Since the 2012-2013 season, the Clippers have won 37 out of 47 games, with last season being the first since before the 2012-2013 season that the Lakers were able to win the season series over the Clippers.
