There are only about ten NBA games left in the regular season, and for some teams, the fate of their season is on the line—where they’ll finish and whether they’ll even make it to the postseason.

The Nets have no such dilemmas, as they sit well below both the Playoff and Play-In spots, while for the Clippers, this is one of the more crucial games, and they desperately need a win.

Brooklyn Nets Form & Team News

The Nets have been playing pretty relaxed and carefree over the past few weeks, and it shows in their results—they’ve won just once in their last nine games.

At the moment, only two teams in the East have a worse record than them, and with 23 wins and 50 losses, this season has been a complete failure for the Brooklyn club.

In their last game, they suffered a heavy 86-116 home loss to the Raptors, and the players who have been given more opportunities during this stretch haven’t made the most of them.

Center Nick Claxton was the Nets’ standout performer in that game with 22 points and 11 rebounds, but that was nowhere near enough to make the game more competitive.

LA Clippers Form & Team News

If there’s a team that has significantly stepped up in the second half of the regular season, it’s the LA Clippers. They’ve won 9 of their last 11 games, climbing into a direct playoff spot.

Holding onto the 6th seed until the end won’t be easy, as the Warriors and Timberwolves are their main competitors, and their records are nearly identical.

The Clippers secured a tough road win in New York a few nights ago, with Harden shining, dropping 29 points along with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Leonard was also highly effective, contributing 27 points and 10 rebounds.

With Zubac, Bogdanović, and a few key role players, the Clippers could turn out to be one of the biggest surprises in the knockout stage of the world’s top basketball league.

Head to Head

The LA Clippers' win over the Nets on January 16 was their most dominant victory of the season, as they demolished the visitors 126-67.
