What you need to know about the Clippers
Los Angeles fell 105-89 to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Shooting guard Paul George put forth a good effort for the losing side as he shot 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 28 points, five dimes and seven boards.
Having lost five of their last seven games, the Clippers are now fourth in the Western Conference this season and they’ll have to use two late tips against Eastern Conference teams in their next two contests to get back on track. However, they will likely be without Patrick Beverley (knee) and Serge Ibaka (back) on Saturday.
What you need to know about the Hornets
Meanwhile, the Hornets fell 116-105 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. Point guard LaMelo Ball (26 points) was the top scorer for Charlotte and the rookie is continuing to run away in the battle for Rookie of the Year.
Ball is averaging 16.0 points, 6.2 assists, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals this season and those numbers get even better since moving into the starting lineup in the beginning of February. Ball is averaging 19.8 points, 6.4 assists and 5.9 rebounds during that 20-game span and Charlotte will need for him to continue to score and facilitate in a tough road matchup.
