Notes
The Clippers’ starting lineup is not known for this contest, as Bradley Beal and Bogdan Bogdanovic are out for the game and Ty Lue has said John Collins is not starting. Considering Harden, DJJ, Kawhi, and Zu are locked in as the other guys, some likely options are Kris Dunn, Nic Batum, or possibly Jordan Miller. I’d lean Dunn, but we will see.
The Clippers went really hard in their game against the Nuggets on Sunday, so I’m curious to see if they play just as intensely in this game. I can’t imagine this game is a full dress rehearsal, but maybe Ty does want to see all of his key players log true regular season style rotations beyond just the first half. If I had to guess, we won’t see Kawhi and possibly Harden after halftime, and the second half is another extended look at the young guys.
One item of note is that Trentyn Flowers was waived yesterday, which opens up a two-way spot. The Clippers don’t have to fill that spot right away, and could sign anyone who’s eligible to it, but it seems likely that the third two-way will be filled by one of the other guys at training camp. Maybe if one of the young guys really stands out tomorrow they are able to earn that final roster spot.
