Los Angeles Lakers will renew their rivalry with the Los Angeles Clippers in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 21 February.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 247th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in the 1970/71 campaign, which was the Clippers' inaugural NBA season.
The Clippers have the edge in this rivalry in recent years, but the Lakers hold the all-time series lead with an advantage, winning 157 games compared to the former's 89 wins.
Most recent meeting
The Clippers defeated the Lakers, 112-104, at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on 23 January.
Kawhi Leonard was the standout performer, scoring 24 points - his career-high 23rd consecutive game with at least as he fueled the Clippers' victory.
Key Players
LeBron James remains a key player for the Lakers as he is able to dominate with elite scoring, playmaking and overall leadership to fuel the team's' offence.
Kawhi Leonard, on the other hand, has been outstanding for the Clippers, as the star forward dazzles with his elite scoring, defence, and clutch performance.
Quotes
"He's progressed really good," Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick said about Luka Dončić, who had a cameo appearance in the recent Team Stars and Team World.
"Part of him wanted to push to get back prior to the break, but we've got to be cautious with soft-tissue injuries...
"We all feel comfortable with the decision to hold him out, and he should be good to go post All-Star."
