L.A. was not very busy in the off-season keeping their core group together. They are still led by their, sort of, big 3 in Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan.
Griffin and Paul combined to average over 40 ppg last season and Jordan ranked 2nd in the NBA averaging 13.8 rebounds per game.
The Clippers also have a couple of sharpshooters in J.J. Reddick and 6th man Jamaal Crawford, who combined to average over 30 ppg last season.
One key for the Clip Joint in this Western Conference match up is perimeter defense. In their win over the Jazz in their season opener guards Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum totaled 64 points.

Last season the Clippers were 24-17 on the road.
Utah Jazz
The Blazers beat the Utah Jazz in their opener where they shot over 52% from the floor and they also shot over 68% from 3-pt range.
They are led by their guard play and they do not have a center on the roster, which is a concern with Jordan in the middle.
In the last game these teams faced each other in Portland the Clippers got the win, Jordan pulled down 14 rebounds, and Lillard did go for 20 points, but was only 7 for 25 from the field.
Besides Lillard and McCollum the other 3 starters for Portland only combined for 11 points in the win over the Jazz.
However, the bench stepped up to combine for 38 points with Noah Vonleh and Allen Crabbe totaled 29 points.
Portland hit on 13 of their 19 3-pointers in the Utah win and if they can shoot like that again they have a good chance to go 2-0 on the young season.
