Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Clippers: Preview, predictions, injury report and TV info for tonight's matchup
NBAFriday, 22 March 2024 at 23:20
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers will be facing each other in one of eight games scheduled for this NBA Friday. This will be their second straight duel after last wednesday battle in which the Clippers won 116-103. With Anfernee Simons questionable, Scoot Henderson will be the main star in Portland. The Clippers will be featuring their own superstar, Kawhi Leonard.
The Clippers will be the visitors again. Losing this game would be very painful for the Los Angeles franchise currently in 4th place in the Western Conference with a 43-25 record after winning only five of its last 10 games. However, the team has benefited from the latest loss of the New Orleans Pelicans, who were dangerously close in the standings (5th with a 42-27 record).
The Blazers, meanwhile, have lost their last four games and continue to suffer a massive amount of injuries on their roster. It has been far from the best Blazers' season. Right now their most important goal is to aim for the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, as they sit second-to-last in the West with a 19-50 record.
Expert predictions (Possible starting lineups and winner)
The main predictions for tonight's game place the Los Angeles Clippers as the clear favorites for the victory. It would be surprising if the Clippers were to lose against the Portland Trail Blazers, who they already beat in their last game and are still plagued by injuries.
In addition, the potential starters will be:
- Blazers: Dalano Banton, Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, DeAndre Ayton.
- Clippers: James Harden, Amir Coffey, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Ivica Zubac.
