Clippers vs. Lakers Odds & Betting Predictions - November 26, 2025

Scheme and matchup play. Low line here but Luka Dončić is the primary defender, and Dunn becomes the ignored low-usage attacker they’re willing to concede space to. The market prices 6.5 like a coin-flip line, but in the context that matters, Dunn actually averages 7.6 PPG in the 7 games with Kawhi + Harden, because lineups with two gravity hubs strip his defender of help responsibility. When Dunn stands in the corner or slot, Luka gives deep cushion, half-hearted closeouts, and late low-man rotations. We’ve already seen this exact archetype punish him this season, Svi (12, 13 P), Julian (14 P), Wells (16 P), Konchar (6 P). None of them hunted Luka; they simply existed in the space Luka refuses to defend. In the March 2nd matchup, Dunn scored 11 of his 15 points directly on Luka, going 5-for-6 in those possessions and still getting five uncontested corner/slot 3PA because the Lakers would rather surrender Dunn 2s and standstill threes than rotate and expose shooters. Once the big (Hayes) is dragged up into Harden actions, Dunn becomes the secondary attacker, straight-line drives, floaters, semi-transition touches with no rim deterrence behind the play. At 6.5 points, you’re not betting volume or role; you’re betting Luka’s defensive habits, which Dunn consistently punishes. @everyone
