Los Angeles enters the meeting in desperation mode, sitting just games out of the final spot in the Western Conference playoff race and having lost four of its last five contests.
Some considered the Clippers to be done for the season once All-Star Blake Griffin was dealt to the Pistons, but the Clips have surpassed expectations, remaining in the playoff race despite the roster shuffling.
The Clippers have been led by a career year from sixth man Lou Williams, who has averaged 22.9 points per game on the season.
