Despite a recent two-game losing streak, they have managed a solid 7-3 record over their last ten games. The Clippers are set to face off against the Houston Rockets at home in Los Angeles, California, where they will aim to finish the season on a positive note.
Looking back at the previous season, the Clippers faced elimination in the first round of the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, adding to the anticipation surrounding their performance in the upcoming postseason and their strengthened lineup with the addition of Kai Jones.
