SportsLine's model just revealed its NBA picks and predictions for Tuesday's Los Angeles Lakers vs. Los Angeles Clippers matchup as the Lakers await Luka Doncic's debut as soon as next week

Although the Lakers are fresh off the heist of the century, Ivica Zubac will take advantage of a team that's currently undermanned in the paint without Anthony Davis.

The basketball world is still shocked, reverberating from the Luka Doncic trade that sapped the Lakers roster of depth and role players. That is obviously correlated to the spread you’ll see Tuesday, where even with LeBron James expected to play, the Clippers are 8.5-point favorites at FanDuel for the 10 p.m. ET game.

The NBA trade deadline arrives tomorrow at 3 p.m. ET. Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler and other stars could still be on the move, but it's already been a wild deadline. That's because the Dallas Mavericks stunned the basketball world late Saturday night by sending Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package headlined by Anthony Davis.

The dust is still settling after the Luka Dončić trade that shook the NBA world to its core. But what is certain is the Los Angeles Lakers still have work to do to balance their roster between now and Thursday’s trade deadline.
