After a tremendous win against the Denver Nuggets, the LA Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard again against the Utah Jazz tonight.

The Clippers have two players listed on their injury report: Kawhi Leonard and Josh Primo. Kawhi Leonard is out with right knee inflammation and will be missing his third straight game. It's also worth noting that his diagnosis changed from right knee soreness to right knee inflammation. Josh Primo is out with a left ankle sprain. Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook are all listed as available against the Utah Jazz.

The Utah Jazz have four players listed on their injury report: Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, and Walker Kessler. Lauri Markkanen is out with right shoulder impingement, Jordan Clarkson is out with left SI inflammation, John Collins is out due to back spasms, and Walker Kessler is out with a nasal fracture.

The Jazz have given the Clippers a major break by not having any of their four key players available tonight. LA still isn't completely safe in the fourth seed, and a win tonight will be incredibly important as they have a back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns tonight. A win tonight would give the Clippers a 2.5 lead over the fifth seed, and a 3.5-game lead over the sixth-seeded Phoenix Suns.

The LA Clippers and Utah Jazz face off at 10:30 p.m. EST tonight.
