Los Angeles Clippers Breakdown:

The Clippers have been on a hot streak, winning 8 of their last 10 games, including their recent dominating victory over Houston. Their offense is firing on all cylinders, led by James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, while their defense, particularly their steals (ranked 3rd in the NBA), adds an extra dimension.

Their offense remains potent, averaging 116 points per game, but their defense has been a liability, allowing 114.5 points per game in their last 10. Despite a strong performance from Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis, the Kings are underdogs in this matchup due to their struggles at home.
