The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> will look to establish a three-game winning streak when they visit the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> on Saturday. The Clippers may be struggling with a 6-21 record, but they do have players who are capable of doing damage and allowing them to pull off an upset.<\/p>\n

Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton and Gabe Vincent were ruled out for this game prior to Saturday. Reaves is still recovering from a calf strain, while Ayton is dealing with elbow soreness and Vincent has a back ailment.<\/p>\n

Hours before Saturday’s game, more bad news came, as forward Rui Hachimura was also ruled out due to groin soreness. He had previously been listed as questionable.<\/p>\n

Hachimura is having a strong season, and he has consistently supplied the Purple and Gold with supplemental offense. He’s averaging 13.3 points a game while shooting 53.5% from the field and a career-high 45.6% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

The Lakers will have two full days off after Saturday’s contest before they visit the Phoenix Suns<\/a> on Tuesday, Dec. 23.<\/p>\n
