The Lakers and Clippers will be facing each other this Wednesday in a game filled with emotions and stakes for both teams

The Los Angeles Lakers have back-to-back games this Tuesday and Wednesday nights, but all eyes are set on the game against the city rival, the Clippers.

A new edition of the Battle for LA is coming, and the Lakers are looking to snap the 10+ winning game streak the Clippers have over them.

But that's just the start, as both teams are fighting for the 6th seed of the Western Conference and a spot in the playoffs. And what most fans want to see is the purple and gold defeating the Clippers with their former star Russell Westbrook.

The Russ and Lakers stint could have been better, and fans want the PG to fail, and tomorrow is a golden opportunity for that, as Westbrook has fitted better with the Clippers than he did for the Lakers.

What does Westbrook think of the game vs. the Lakers?

"But it's an important game for us collectively, it's probably going to be an important game for them as well, so it's just going to be a big game overall making sure we're ready to go," Westbrook said. "My job is to make sure us in the locker room are locked in and ready to compete."
