Luka Doncic (groin) and LeBron James (41) are questionable for tonight vs Hawks Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) is out If James doesn’t play tonight, then he will be ineligible for postseason awards Hawks are without Kristaps Porzingis, Zaccharie Risacher, Luke Kennard

Asked Jordan Miller about areas of growth offensively that weren't apparent first two seasons, and source of confidence to finish tonight strong (game-high 10 4th quarter points) "I know what I'm capable of… just go out there and show everybody like, okay, I belong here now."

Asked James Harden about working with Tyronn Lue to help Clippers begin to recover from 6-21 hole "We know what the bottom feel like, literally... we don't have time to relax"

Asked Tyronn Lue about coaching James Harden while Harden passed Lue's former teammate Shaquille O'Neal on all-time scoring list: "Shaq was the most dominant big to ever play the game. If you pass him, that says a whole lot"

Kawhi Leonard ankle update, from Kawhi Leonard

The LA Clippers have beaten the Charlotte Hornets 16 straight times Tonight's final score: Hornets 109, LAC 117 Kawhi Leonard: 35 points in 30:36 Clippers are 16-23. Keep stacking days...

🏁 Cam Christie Kobe Brown Yanic Konan Niederhäuser All in to close

This game is gonna be decided by a 15-1 Clip run. 25.5 seconds left, LA leads 117-107.

Kobe Sanders had a nice cut and Jordan Miller found him... only for Kobe to miss the bunny No worried. Harden pick-sixes Miles Bridges, then the next time Miller found Sanders with an open lane to the rack, Sanders dunked it 13-1 LAC run 112-101 LAC lead Hornets timeout

Collins has 5 fouls Hornets in bonus last 5:31 Clippers out of challenges Clippers down to one timeout remaining

Clippers are challenging what would be the 5th personal foul on John Collins

Clippers are challenging what would be the 5th personal foul on John Collins

Kawhi Leonard subs out, because he has four minutes left in his limit James Harden steps up with back-to-back 3s to extend a 9-0 LAC run and give Clippers a 108-100 lead, forcing a Hornets timeout with 5:57 left to play...

Hornets and Clippers trading baskets at a high level after halftime. The second units have gotten it done in the fourth quarter, with 3s by Tre Mann, Brook Lopez, Kobe Sanders, and Jordan Miller (2x) LA leads 102-100 with 6:32 left to play...

Jordan Miller sneaks a bucket in at the rim to give LA 86-84 through 3 quarters Harden: 24 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals, 7/8 FTs Both offenses woke up, scoring 41 points each after being in mid 40s at halftime

John Collins is in foul trouble

James Harden has scored more points than SHAQ

horrible offense competition, 2nd quarter Hornets: 1/12 3s Clippers: 1/5 FGs in paint

Despite shooting frigid 32.6% FGs (and missing 75% of their shots outside the paint) LAC leads Hornets 45-43 at halftime Zubac: 5 points, 2/4 FGs, 10 rebounds, only 1 foul Hornets have been brutal offensively too. Fewer points in 1st half than they had in 1st quarter at Utah.

59.9 seconds left in first half Hornets lead 43-42 Clippers have reached over 30% field goals. Baby steps lol

5-1 And would have been 6-0 IF a certain defending Super Bowl champion could have gotten more than 95 yards on the 18 targets to their top two WRs 🫥

The Clippers look like a team coming off East trip and playing third game in four nights Next to zero pop, and Kawhi Leonard has ben woefully short on a number of his jumpers, to say nothing about Clippers shooters blanking across board Hornets lead 30-26, 8:04 left in 1st half

Hornets lead 26-24 through one quarter at LA Moussa Diabaté: 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block Clippers shooting outside paint has been awful: 0/2 midrange, 2/13 from 3

LAC in bonus last 3:09 of first quarter

Challenge is successful, no free throws for LaMelo

Tyronn Lue is challenging Kris Dunn foul drawn by LaMelo Ball Also, Scott Foster is here

10-7 Hornets lead, though James Harden has a chance to tie the game from the free throw line after a Kon Knueppel foul.

Starters tonight at LA Hornets: LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges, Moussa Diabaté Clippers: James Harden, Kris Dunn, Kawhi Leonard, John Collins, Ivica Zubac

Kawhi Leonard will be available tonight vs Hornets

Asked Tyronn Lue about preparing to play a team that won their last game by 55 points

Asked Charles Lee how he's going to not let James Harden go off again like he did last month, and about defending with physicality when Hornets prioritize prohibiting free throws

Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain) capped at 30 minutes tonight vs Hornets

2 has arrived

Some matchup rankings headed into Hornets at LA for Monday night Last time James Harden saw the Hornets, he dropped 55 points on them. LA has beaten the Hornets 15 times in a row. The glass is going to be a problem for Clippers tonight, so they better not turn it over.

Some matchup rankings headed into Lakers at Sacramento for Monday night The Lakers stars have enjoyed carving up the Kings so far this season. Sacramento simply isn't big enough at the necessary positions to bother Luka Doncic or LeBron James. Dennis Schröder suspended.

🆕 @theathletic.com Las Vegas had their thoughts on how teams would do this season. This week's NBA Power Rankings takes a look at how each team is performing relative to those preseason expectations www.nytimes.com/athletic/696...

Big day for me, and the only time I will make any announcements anytime soon 🤣

Clippers list Kawhi Leonard (ankle) as questionable for Monday vs Hornets

Yololol

From Kevin Durant…

-60 is crazy

First Bears playoff win in 15 seasons?! AND they beat the Packers?!! Ben Johnson! 😭😭😭😭😭

Cody Williams a -42 at halftime in 14:11 how does that happen

The Clippers will host the Charlotte Hornets Monday Tonight, the Hornets are up 77-38 at halftime in Utah

Pistons 3-point shooting vs Clippers this season! 1st half at LA: 0/12 2nd half at DET: 1/13

Pistons 4th quarter offense vs Clippers: - 12 turnovers (9 Clippers steals) - 0/6 3s - 4/8 FTs - 6 offensive rebounds (good!) - 12 paint points (6/9 in paint, 0/7 FGs outside paint)

Clippers had season-best 18 steals tonight at Detroit, their most since December 2024 at Denver And 32 points off turnovers, 2nd time this season with 30+ points off TOs (and the other time was New Year Day vs Jazz)

A stat that is amusing: Clippers are now 4-3 this season when they have 20+ turnovers lol Two of those wins were clutch time wins this week vs Warriors and at Detroit Basically... the Clippers are a powerful offense whenever they find time to not give the ball away 🤷🏾‍♂️

Clippers sweep Detroit This time, comeback from down 19 (it's not a Clippers season without a comeback win against the Detroit Pistons tbh) That's a 3-1 week for the Clippers. Keep stacking days, as they say

John Collins becomes the ninth player in NBA history with at least 4 3s, 4 steals, and 4 blocks: Walt Williams Nick Anderson Robert Horry Doug Christie James Harden Jaren Jackson Jr. Jamal Murray Victor Wembanyama John Collins (TONIGHT) 25 points, 5 steals, 4 blocks, 5 3s
