Notes
Garland Playing: All of the reporting is that Darius Garland will play tonight, meaning he will have just over 20 games with the Clippers this season. It’s possible Garland comes off the bench, as I’d guess he has a minutes restriction tonight, but considering he’s going to start sooner or later, giving him more times with the starters makes sense. I doubt he plays more than like 28 minutes but I think he will start tonight.
Collins Questionable: John Collins came back last night from a couple game absence and looked really good, but unfortunately left the game in the 4th quarter after taking some whiplash. Considering he missed games with a neck injury, Collins possibly re-damaging his neck means I’d be a bit surprised if he played tonight. It’s too bad, as it seemed like the Clippers might actually be fully healthy. Hopefully I’m wrong and John is able to suit up alongside Darius.
