Over their last ten games, the Clippers have gone 8-2.

At home, they are 25-11 in 36 games.

Via Bill Simmons: "Went to an awesome Clips/Thunder game tonight. I gotta say… Kawhi looks terrific in person. It’s kind of shocking. The Clippers need to be taken seriously as a playoff spoiler if he’s healthy. They’re good."

Following the Thunder, the Clippers will play their next game on Wednesday night when they visit the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Simmons was the first pick in the 2016 NBA Draft out of LSU.

He has also spent time with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers over nine years.
