Overview
- Tipoff is 7 p.m. local at the Moda Center, with the broadcast carried on Prime Video.
- The Clippers arrive on a two-game win streak that includes a 128-108 win over Houston featuring 41 points from Kawhi Leonard.
- Leonard is cleared to play; Los Angeles remains without Ivica Zubac, Derrick Jones Jr., and Bradley Beal, while Portland is missing Damian Lillard, Jerami Grant, Scoot Henderson, Jrue Holiday, Matisse Thybulle, and Blake Wesley.
- DraftKings/Oregon Lottery list the Clippers as slight favorites (roughly -2 to -2.5; moneyline near -130 to -142), even as they are 3-13 on the road this season.
- This is the teams’ second meeting after L.A.’s Oct. 26 win, and betting analysis points to a potential rebounding edge for Portland’s Donovan Clingan with Zubac sidelined.
