The LA Clippers are back at home Monday night to host the Indiana Pacers, who are coming off a loss to the LA Lakers on Sunday. The Clippers are also playing the second game in a row, but they were coming back from an away game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
It’s a brutal schedule for the Clippers since they had to fly from the East Coast to the West Coast after their loss to the Sixers. The Clippers’ hold on fourth place in the West is slowly diminishing with the New Orleans Pelicans just a half-game behind.
Meanwhile, the Pacers’ loss to the Lakers was just the first during the current five-game road trip. They opened it with back-to-back wins over the Detroit Pistons and Golden State Warriors. They will also need to win to avoid the Miami Heat and Sixers in the standings.
