Sunday, January 29th the LA Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers are playing for the second and final time this season. The Clippers won the initial meeting on November 7th (119-117).
The Clippers are completing a back-to-back set having beat the Hawks 120-113 on Saturday while the Cavaliers played Friday losing 100-112 to the Thunder.
All time the Cavaliers have the advantage of winning 76 of 135 matches versus the Clippers. Last season the teams played twice with the Cavaliers winning both contests.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Saturday evening, January 28th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Sunday, January 29th.
LA Clippers
It’s no secret Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are superstars and when they can play consistently the Clippers look very much like a contender.
While the Hawks were on a roll lately LA took care of them and had no answer for Kawhi and PG13.
In the win, Leonard served up 32 points, eight rebounds, four assists, a steal, and a block connecting on five of his 10 long balls. George offered 23 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and a steal.
Stats
On the negative side, presently, LA ranks 28th for scoring averaging 110.7 points per game while shooting 47.0% from the field and 38.0% from the perimeter ranking 19th and fifth respectively.
Opponents average 110.4 points per game ranking third lowest overall while allowing opponents to shoot 46.5% from the field and 35.1% from the perimeter ranking seventh and ninth respectively.
At this point, Marcus Morris Sr. (rib contusion) and Robert Covington (personal) are questionable while John Wall (abdominal) is out.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers continue to give me reasons to doubt they are a legitimate title contender and fit better in the middle tier needing more depth and experience.
That perception got a jolt in the arm Friday as the Thunder seemed to easily dispense of the Cavaliers. Granted, Donovan Mitchell was out but Cleveland has boasted about their depth so should be able to beat a team with a record under 500.
Recently I noted how the Cavs are 13-14 versus teams with .500 or winning records and eight of the 13 wins occurred with several starters out. Six of those incidences both the best player and other starters were sidelined.
So, when they lose as they did in OKC, it doesn’t instill a ton of confidence they belong in the same tier with the Celtics, Bucks, and at least at this moment the 76ers in the East.
Stats
Offensively, Cleveland scores 111.3 points per game ranking 26th while shooting 48.2% from the field and 36.2% on the perimeter ranking eighth and 13th respectively.
Cleveland tops the league for opponent scoring limiting foes to an average of 107.1 points per game. Cavs opponents shoot 46.8% from the field and 37.3% from deep ranking 10th and 27th.
Kevin Love (back) and Donovan Mitchell (groin) are questionable for Sunday. Dylan Windler (ankle) is out indefinitely.

Free LA Clippers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
LA hasn’t submitted their ‘official’ injury report but no doubt the oddsmakers assume one or both of the Clippers stars will rest based on the back-to-back (I checked several sites and none of them list KW or PG as out).
I’m not 100 percent convinced of that given they’ve jumped to fourth overall and are within a game of the Kings for third knowing the Grizz are struggling and Denver is also dealing with health.
LA played a heavier first-half schedule with between one and four additional games than all their counterparts (except the Jazz). This means they have fewer games to make up the difference and ascend the ladder so the time to strike is now.
And if they end up resting both stars and losing then they only have themselves to blame.
