The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to take another step forward. The offense looked better on Friday with Darius Garland back running the point. They’ll try to keep that going against a struggling Los Angeles Clippers team.
Los Angeles hasn’t had an ideal last few months. The Aspiration scandal with Kawhi Leonard seems to have set the tone for the entire season. Their defense has been awful, they’ve had important players in and out of the lineup, and their aging roster looks like they’ve collectively
lost a step. This has led to them losing nine of their last 11 games after starting the season 3-2.
Fortunately for the Clippers, Leonard will be back in the lineup today. He’s played just six of the team’s first 16 games.
