Los Angeles Lakers schedule today: Friday, December 3
| Game | Time (EST) | TV |
| vs Los Angeles Clippers | 10:00 PM | ESPN, Spectrum SportsNet |
- Point spread: TBD
- Moneyline: TBD
- Over/under: TBD
- Sportsnaut prediction: Clippers 110, Lakers 104
LeBron James missed Tuesday’s Pistons game as he goes through COVID protocols. It’s possible the Space Jam: A New Legacy star may miss this Clippers matchup as well. The Lakers are one of the better scoring teams in the NBA, averaging over 111 points per game (5th in NBA), but if they don’t have LBJ, they may not be able to overcome a Clippers team allowing the fifth-fewest points per game (103.6). Expect a close battle, but Paul George will come up victorious in the end.

The Los Angeles Lakers schedule for December includes a three-game road stretch in which they cover a lot of distance, starting Dec. 15 against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks and ending Dec. 19 against the Zach LaVine-led Chicago Bulls. The Lakers play on Christmas Day against James Harden and Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets in a game that’s sure to feature well over 220 points.
As expected, the Lakers will be heavily featured on national television as the season progresses. Starting in December, they have 33 nationally-televised broadcasts. That includes seven consecutive in February, starting and ending with games against the Golden State Warriors on ABC.
Six of the Lakers’ final seven regular-season games are also going to be nationally televised with their April 7 outing against Golden State on TNT. This could end up deciding the Pacific Division race after the two battled in the play-in tournament a season ago.
