Game of the Day: Los Angeles Clippers at Los Angeles Lakers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Clippers at Los Angeles Lakers (-5.5, 190)

Long overshadowed by the success of the Lakers, the Clippers look like the stronger team heading into the first head-to-head meeting between the NBA's two Los Angeles franchises Friday night at Staples Center. The Clippers had six players score in double digits during an impressive 101-92 win over Memphis in their mutual season opener on Wednesday.

The Lakers made the biggest splash of any NBA team this offseason, adding Steve Nash and Dwight Howard, but it has yet to generate any successful results. Coach Mike Brown's team is off to an 0-2 start and has lost 12 straight overall. That slide began with two losses to the Thunder while being eliminated from the NBA playoffs and continued with an 0-8 record in the preseason. The Lakers committed 24 turnovers in Wednesday's 116-106 loss at Portland, with Kobe Bryant responsible for seven of those miscues.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN, Prime Ticket, TWC SportsNet (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (1-0, 1-0 ATS): Former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford made a splash with the Clippers by pouring in 29 points, the most in team history by a players making his debut off the bench. He keyed a 49-point outburst by a contingent of reserves that will get even deeper when veterans Chauncey Billups and Grant Hill return from their injuries. The Clippers trailed Memphis 77-73 going into the fourth quarter before rallying for the home win.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (0-2, 0-2 ATS): Playing on back-to-back nights for the first time since March 18 and 19, new Lakers center Dwight Howard went for 33 points and 14 rebounds. He's also attempted 33 free throws already this season, easily a league high. Nash is listed as doubtful for this game due to a lower-leg bruise suffered Wednesday at Portland that limited him to 16 minutes of playing time. Steve Blake would start if Nash can't go.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Los Angeles.
* Over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
* Clippers are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
* Underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Both teams are based out of the Staples Center, but recent history in this city series favors the designated home team. In fact, the Lakers have won the past nine times they were the home team against the Clippers.

2. Matt Barnes, who signed with the Clippers this offseason after two seasons with the Lakers, should be available for the game. The NBA suspended Barnes for the season opener after he pleaded no-contest to a misdemeanor charge for resisting, delaying or obstructing a police officer.

3. Bryant heads into this game on the cusp of tying Magic Johnson's franchise record of 1,724 steals. Bryant needs one steal to tie and two to claim the outright record.

NBA's fastest and slowest starters to the season
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Los Angeles Lakers have stumbled out of the blocks to start one of the most anticipated seasons in the franchise’s storied history.

Despite the additions of Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Antawn Jamison, The Lakers are 0-2 headed into Friday’s date with the rival Los Angeles Clippers. However, while the NBA world has been captivated by the Lakers’ early troubles, it’s the Clippers basketball bettors should worry about.

The “other” L.A. team is historically a slow starter, going just 65-81-4 ATS (64-86 SU) in the month of November the since 2000-01 season.

Here’s a look at the best and worst teams out of the blocks, looking at November records from 2000-01 to 2010-11 (last year the lockout-shortened season started in December).

NBA’s fastest starters

Detroit Pistons (86-65-2 ATS, 90-63 SU in November since 2000-01)

The Pistons are expected to stay in the middle of the road in the Central Division. But with Derrick Rose out for Chicago, Detroit could put itself in the running with another strong November showing. Two years ago, the Pistons posted a 10-5 ATS mark in November (9-6 SU). That record could be hard to top in 2012, with the schedule makers doing Detroit no favors and handing it a six-game Western road trip right off the bat. There could be value with the Pistons getting the points on the left side of the country.

San Antonio Spurs (83-64-5 ATS, 107-45 SU in November since 2000-01)

It wouldn’t be a “best bets” list without the Spurs and their money-making ways. San Antonio doesn’t waste time finding its form in the early stages of the schedule. A consistent core of superstars and solid role players – not to mention the infinite wisdom of Gregg Popovich – has allowed the Spurs to get down to business without many hiccups in November. San Antonio looks like it’s ready for another strong start after knocking off Oklahoma City in dramatic fashion Thursday.

Indiana Pacers (84-68-2 ATS, 90-64 SU in November since 2000-01)

Indiana was a monster against the spread in the early 2000s, leaning on a reliable veteran corps. Things have taken a step back in recent years, with the franchise in transition following the retirement of Reggie Miller, but happy times may be here again for Pacers backers in November. In 2011, Indiana went 8-5 ATS (7-6 SU) in November. Last season, with the schedule opening in December, the Pacers won their first three (2-1 ATS) and were 5-3 ATS through the first eight games. They could be back on the same track, opening 2012 with a win over Toronto on Halloween.


NBA’s slowest starters

Miami Heat (61-92-3 ATS, 65-91 SU in November since 2000-01)

Two years ago, following the formation of the “Big 3”, the Heat opened the season with a 2-12 ATS mark in November, going 7-7 SU. With such a turnover in talent and mixing three guys who were used to being the focal point of the offense, Miami struggled to be a cohesive unit. But even before LeBron took his talents to South Beach, the Heat were a dismal early-season bet. They went 2-11 ATS in 2001-02 and 4-11 ATS in 2004-05, the year they got Shaquille O’Neal. The 2012 defending champion Heat are always a tough bet – no matter the month – thanks to the inflated spreads and public perception.

Washington Wizards (59-88-1 ATS, 54-94 SU in November since 2000-01)

It’s never a good time to bet on the Wizards, especially this season with star guard John Wall out of action until late November. Washington has managed to cover in just under 40 percent of its November games since 2000-01. Even two seasons with Michael Jordon on the roster – in which the team went a combined 8-18 ATS and 9-17 SU – couldn’t help bettors cover with the Wiz. Washington lost its season opener to Cleveland and plays four of its next six on the road.

Los Angeles Clippers (65-81-4 ATS, 64-86 ATS in November since 2000-01)

The Clippers were a bad team for many, many years. But even their resurgence in recent seasons hasn’t helped their loyal backers. Los Angeles did however go 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS in its first 10 games of the shortened 2011-12 season with new point guard Chris Paul at the wheel and got this year off on the right foot with a win and cover over Memphis on Oct. 31. The Clippers play just two road games in their first eight contests, and one of those is against the Lakers. All the Staples Center crew has to do is flip the floor boards.
