The Clippers are playing out the string in the regular season. They will measure this year by what happens in the playoffs.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers are coming off a wild home win in overtime against Houston. It took a whopping 140 points to get there. Still they are more than 10 games behind the Warriors in the Pacific.
Blake Griffin is still out but they have been weathering that loss pretty well. The key will be getting him healthy for a run in the playoffs.

J.J. Reddick went off for 40 points in the recent win. Shooting 9 for 12 from three will do that for you. I have never been a fan but he can be dangerous if not given the proper attention.
Chris Paul has also stepped up his scoring with the Griffin out of the lineup. He will be asked to slow down Kyrie Irving in this matchup and that isn’t easy.
Maybe no player in the NBA understands his role better than DeAndre Jordan. He has 13 straight double figure rebound games with most of those being double-doubles.
Cleveland Cavaliers
Cleveland was just trounced by the Warriors so it is lucky for them that they have a soft landing spot against the Nets the following game. Then these Clippers.
The Cavs may be the best team in the East but that loss to Golden State was eye opening. I kind of wonder if they are just a front running kind of team. Good when thing are good but they might not have enough fight in them.
One thing I have also noticed is that it is too easy to make Kevin Love a non factor. I know he put up really good numbers in Minnesota but I think he is overrated. They get more out of Timofey Mozgov and feature him more in the offense.
I expect the Cavs to come into this one pretty fired up to show they are not losing their way against good teams.

Los Angeles can be frustrating but I think this is only when you expect them to dominate. That is not the case in this one.
