Los Angeles Clippers

The team can take last night's meeting with Boston as an asset, as the reigning champion handled LAC only in overtime. Yes, the Celtics were without several key players - Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis - but the Clippers were also without James Harden, Kawai Leonard and Norman Powell. 113:117 (103:103) - Derrick Jones was the most productive in the Clippers' truncated lineup, scoring 29 points.

Thus, the Clippers suffered their second consecutive defeat - before that, the Californians lost at home to Chicago (99:112). At the same time in the standings of the Western Conference LAC retained their position in the playoff zone, currently occupying fifth place with a balance of 24-19 wins.

We should also note that Brian Keefe's team has by far the worst defensive rating - 122.5 points allowed per game.
