The Clippers vs. Lakers live stream will take place tonight. The game will be broadcast live from inside Walt Disney World's "bubble" and from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Arena (one of three venues).

And while some NBA teams may take it easy as they shake off their team rust as the season begins, this matchup is going to be less than fun. And this time, the Lakers and Clippers, crosstown rivals, will be playing without the concept of a home team.

Unfortunately, the Clippers are not in the best shape for this game, given their roster. Montrezl Harrell was still not back on the NBA bubble as of last night and is expected to miss this game. In addition, reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year Lou Williams is undergoing a 10-day quarantine as required by the NBA.

While this game may seem to be all Lakers, Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard are both uncertain to play, the former with a left eye problem and the latter overcoming a knee injury. In other words, LeBron James remains the biggest difference-maker on the court, but he is not 100% healthy to accompany the team.

While many still favor the Bucks as title contenders, the Lakers and Clippers are near the top of most predictions as to who will take the Finals. As such, the focus will be on the Davis/James pairing, but more so on the C Clippers' Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
