The Los Angeles Clippers are off to a slow start at 1-3. On Wednesday, the Clippers were disastrous in a 92-79 loss Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As poor as they were, a positive is their lone victory of the season was against the Blazers. On Monday, they defeated Portland 116-86. Take the Clippers, who will finally play a true road game.

The Clippers just aren't that good without Kawhi Leonard and with Marcus Morris and Serge Ibaka also on the shelf -- but not long term like Kawhi. Yes, they just blasted these Blazers 116-86 in LA on Monday, but that was a fluke and will fuel Damian Lillard for payback (he and Paul George have a major rivalry). Portland followed that loss with an impressive win over Memphis and might get Norman Powell back from injury tonight.
