Current Form:

The Clippers are 3-2 in their last five games, but 1-2 in their last three. Their most recent setback came at the hands of the New York Knicks, 111-123, on January 7. Kawhi Leonard (25 points), James Harden (23) and Ivica Zubac (22) all scored over 20 points, but the trio’s production was not enough to help the Clippers outgun the hot-shooting Knicks, who made 50 percent of their field goal attempts.

Meanwhile, the Nets absorbed a heartbreaking loss to the Magic, 103-104, in their last game. Michael Porter Jr. pumped up 34 points and Egor Demin added 18 points on 5-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc. Demin gave the Nets a two-point lead, 103-101, after draining a three-pointer with 5.3 seconds left on the clock. However, Paolo Banchero delivered the counterpunch by coming through with the game-winning trey at the buzzer.
