Los Angeles Lakers will lock horns with their city rivals Los Angeles Clippers in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 1 March.
 
Head-to-Head 
 
This will be the 242nd meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1970 when the Clippers were formed.
 
The Lakers have the upper hand in this rivalry having recorded 154 wins compared to the Clippers' 87 victories from 241 matches. 
 
Most recent meeting 
 
Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, 122-97 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California on 5 February.
 
Therefore, the Lakers won their third game in a row and improved to 29-19, while the Clippers fell to 28-22.
  
Key Players
 
The Lakers' new point guard Luka Dončić will be determined to impress against the Clippers and he is known for displaying proficiency in shooting three-pointers, mid-range jump shots, floaters, and shots in the post.
 
The player to watch out for in the Clippers team is James Harden who had 24 points, five rebounds and eight assists in a 116-110 loss against the Milwaukee Bucks on 20 February, and he became the 13th player in NBA history to score 27,000 career points.
 
Quotes
 
"I think he'll be fine," Lakers coach JJ Redick said about Dončić who recently returned from an injury. 
 
"Every day that he's been with us, it's becoming just a little bit more normal. I've been there. The first time you play your old team (Dallas Maverick), particularly this close in time duration, it's going to be weird. But he'll be able to handle it."
