LA Clippers Preview
The LA Clippers find themselves in a solid place to make a play-In appearance as they occupy eighth place in the Western Conference.
Having won three of their last five games with Paul George back in the lineup, the Clippers have looked like a rejuvenated team as the regular season comes to an end.
LA have played most of their season without Kawhi Leonard and George. Despite players in and out of the rotation with injuries, the Clippers have done a great job staying afloat and maintaining a solid standing.
The LA Clippers clinched the 8th season while missing the following players due to injury:
Kawhi Leonard - 79 games
Paul George - 50 games
Norman Powell - 22 games
Marcus Morris - 27 games
Nicolas Batum - 22 games
Injuries are a horrible excuse for not even making the play-in.
Coming off a great win against the ninth-place Pelicans, the Clippers have momentum as they head into their next game. With George also finding his groove, LA looks a competitive team again.
LA Clippers Predicted Lineup
G - Reggie Jackson | G - Paul George | F - Marcus Morris Sr. | F - Nicolas Batum | C - Ivica Zubac.
