L.A. Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers are trying to make the playoffs in the Western Conference this year, despite rumors the team is in a complete tear down. Los Angeles traded away the best Clipper of all time in Blake Griffin and did not even get a sit down from Chris Paul before he walked to end last season.

The Clippers have been hot, but took a tough road loss at Philadelphia, 112-98, which has been their only loss the last five games. The Clippers played well against the Nets, shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 30 percent from three point land in the win.
Los Angeles has found out, there is life without Blake Griffin. Lou Williams has taken over as the teams number one scoring option this season. Williams has not disappointed. He is averaging 23.2 points per game this year. Williams play is a lot of the reason the team is still in contention.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Clippers are allowing 106.8 points per game this season. Good enough to rank them 21st in points allowed this year. Not good, but not terrible either. If the Clippers can somehow get better on the defensive side of the ball, they can be a playoff team.
If the Clippers can get a big game from Lou Williams and DeAndre Jordan, the Celtics could have their hands full in the this one.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics have been struggling. The team is in a mid season funk, and it’s showing. Boston has dropped three of their last five games, including a recent beat down at home against the Cavaliers, 121-99. The Celtics should be embarrassed of themselves. They were destroyed against Cleveland on Paul Pierce’s jersey retirement ceremony.
The Celtics shot 40.4 percent from the floor and 26.3 percent from three in the 22 point loss. To make things worse, the loss could be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals again this year. Hopefully after losing to Cleveland, the Celtics can get back to winning. Kyrie Irving is averaging 24.6 points per game this year.
