The LA Clippers will deploy the same backcourt they used in the game against the Grizzlies. Reggie Jackson and Norman Powell will start on the backcourt. Robert Covington has done some great work since singing along with Powell. He could be given the chance to man the frontcourt with Marcus Morris Sr., while Ivica Zubac starts at center.
