In the last of 11 games to be played on this busy Monday night in the NBA, the Los Angeles Clippers and Indiana Pacers will meet in the second back-to-back night for both, and after both teams lost on Sunday. The stars of the game will be Kawhi Leonard and Tyrese Haliburton.
The Pacers will be the visitors in a game they come to after last night's surreal duel against the Los Angeles Lakers, against whom they lost by a score of 150-145 without overtime. The Indianapolis franchise is 6th in the Eastern Conference, on the borderline of direct qualification for the playoffs, with a 40-32 record. Behind, Miami Heat is the closest rival with 39-32, although Philadelphia 76ers has the same record.
The Clippers, meanwhile, fell precisely against the Sixers in a very painful defeat for the Angelenos, as their rival is still without Joel Embiid. The Los Angeles team is 4th in the Western Conference with a 44-26 record, with the New Orleans Pelicans looking to snatch that position, currently with a 44-27 balance.
