Transcript
00:00 The LA Clippers' seeding game schedule is coming to a close and unfortunately the team still hasn't
00:04 been able to play a game with a fully healthy roster. That trend will continue for LA's meeting
00:08 with the Debra Nuggets on Wednesday night as the team announced it would be without Patrick
00:12 Beverly, Montrez Harold, and Landry Schamett for the contest. It's no surprise to Beverly and Harold
00:16 here as LA is still being very cautious of Pat Biff's leg injury while Harold is still finishing
00:21 up his four-day quarantine period. However, Schamett is a new addition to the report and it's
00:25 something worth keeping an eye on. A young sharp shooter is officially out due to a left foot
00:30 sprain. While it doesn't seem too serious, his return date is unknown. He looked increasingly
00:35 confident as the seeding games continued and went off for 19 points, three rebounds, and three
00:39 assists in LA's surprising victory at the Portland Trailblazers last weekend. With that, I'm looking
00:44 for the Clippers to look to guys like Rodney Magruder and Terrence Mann for production off
00:48 the bench. Additionally, I'm looking for LA to revert back to the starting lineup featured with
00:52 Jackson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris, and Ibiza Zubats. Over the weekend,
00:56 PG and Kawhi split games, resting, and Schamett was a starting two-guard. Now that he's out and
01:02 both PG and Kawhi are healthy again, they should go back to that look. On the other side of the
01:07 ballot, the Nuggets will be without Gary Harris and Will Barton while Jeremy Grant is officially
01:11 listed as questionable with right knee soreness. Win or lose, the results of this game have serious
01:16 playoff implications for the Clippers and Nuggets. A win would lock up the number two seed, the
01:21 Western Conference of the Clippers, while a loss is a door open for Denver to take it. If LA loses
01:25 both of its final two games and the Nuggets win both of theirs, the Clippers drop to number three.
01:29 The LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets will face off tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
