The Clippers missed Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the first two games of the road trip due to health and safety protocols, going 1-1 in Atlanta and Miami. But the duo were back in the lineup against the Magic, and even with it being the second of a road back-to-back, LA took care of business, the two stars in terrific form yet again.
Patrick Beverley remains out of the lineup, staying back in California to rest up with a knee ailment, but Reggie Jackson has been hitting a rhythm lately, the guard stepping up with a chance at more minutes.
The Knicks are coming off a big win Friday over the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the name on everyone’s lips these days is rookie Immanuel Quickley, who led the Knicks with 25 points off the bench in the victory. He’s a promising player, but it’s still early in his pro career and we’ve seen the Knicks hype machine go into overdrive before, so we’ll see how he does in Sunday’s game and beyond.
If the Clippers win this game, there’s a chance they could go to the top of the Western Conference, if the Utah Jazz lose their game Sunday as well. Still, the team is clicking, and finding a way to get results, even on the road. But we know as the games pile up that this is going to be an unpredictable season, so we’ll have to see how the game at The Garden goes.
