The LA Clippers face off against a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team in a game that LA must win. While it won't be the end of the world if LA loses, it would be an inexcusable loss given the circumstances.

The Clippers have three players listed on their injury report: Russell Westbrook, Norman Powell, and P.J. Tucker. Russell Westbrook is out due to a left hand fracture, however, he should be returning very soon. Norman Powell is questionable due to a left lower leg contusion. P.J. Tucker is questionable due to right calf soreness. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden are all listed as available to play against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers have six players listed on their injury report: Joel Embiid, Robert Covington, Kai Jones, Kyle Lowry, De'Anthony Melton, and Terquavion Smith. Joel Embiid is out due to a left knee meniscus tear, Robert Covington is out due to a left knee bone bruise, Kai Jones is out due to a right hamstring strain, Kyle Lowry is out due to rest, De'Anthony Melton is out due to a lumbar spine bone stress. Terquavion Smith is out due to a G League two-way.

LA can not afford to lose a game at home against the 76ers without Joel Embiid. A win would give a much-needed two-game separation from the New Orleans Pelicans for the 4th seed.

The LA Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers face off at 3:30 p.m. EST
