Los Angeles Clippers: news and form
The competition is still extremely dense in the Western Conference, and the Clippers are in the race for the top 6. They hold 5th place today, but the New Orleans Pelicans are only two games behind when they are … 10th.
Things are not going as planned for Californians. Since the All Star Break and the rookie integration, Ty Lue and his men have lost five straight before winning their last two games. The workforce is richer, but it still lacks cohesion. A problem that can be seen especially in defense, they collect more than 128 points per game of the recovery, once morest 112 on average over the season.
Even though the defense is struggling, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are doing an outstanding job of keeping their team above water. Lieutenants Terance Mann and Ivica Zubac also hold their rank, as does Russell Westbrook, who fills the stat leagues. But it’s going to take a full team game to contain these Knicks.
New York Knicks: news and form
The race for play-off qualification in the eastern conference has little to envy to the neighboring conference. The Knicks are 5th, with a game ahead of Brooklyn, and three over Miami, which remains in ambush. Cleveland’s 4th place seems out of reach now, but you never know, this season anything is possible.
What makes it clear that the Knicks shouldn’t be able to catch up to the top 4, in order to have home-court advantage in the first round, is that they have accustomed us this season to chaining winning streaks and then losing streaks. . They won nine straight meetings in February, but they also lost in their last two outings, once morest surprising Charlotte Hornets, and once morest the Sacramento Kings.
A concern still remains regarding the level of these Knicks in the absence of Jalen Brunson. The leader will not play the meeting once morest the Clippers, and will therefore be replaced by Immanuel Quickley, who remains a good option, but obviously not of Brunson’s caliber.
Five major Clippers – Knicks:
Los Angeles Clippers
-
Westbrook
-
George
Morris
Sr -
Tooth
Leonard
New York Knicks
-
Grimes
-
Quickley
Barrett
-
Robinson
Randle
The Clippers remain on two important successes to relaunch themselves in the race for the final stages. They should find more and more benchmarks collectively over the matches. This dynamic should make the difference once morest the Knicks who have lost their last two games, and who are deprived of Brunson.

The rear of the Clippers is having an excellent season (23 points and five assists on average). Since the arrival of Westbrook, his former teammate in Oklahoma, George’s statistics have gone up a notch. He is now close to 27 points per game. In this context so tight in the standings, we can expect another big game from Paul George.
