RJ Barrett and the New York Knicks (25-38) will travel to crypto.com Arena to take on the LA Clippers (34-31) in part of the NBA Sunday slate. We have you covered on everything there is to know about the matchup before they face-off.
Despite having neither Kawhi Leonard nor Paul George in the lineup, the Clippers have managed to continue to get the job done at an admirable level. After having gone 5-0 in their last games, Los Angeles enters this matchup three games above .500 with a spot in the play-in tournament.
There still is optimism surrounding the potential returns of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard at some point. However, it remains to be seen when either player will be available.
It has been a truly disappointing season for the New York Knicks and their 0-5 record in their last five games puts it fully into perspective. Following up a season that featured the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a campaign being well below .500 is deflating for any team. Can they begin to bounce back? At this point, it’s looking to be too late for that.
