One week after their last encounter, the LA Clippers face off against the Milwaukee Bucks in a rematch that will have the Clippers more shorthanded than last time.

The biggest thing for the LA Clippers is that they won't have Kawhi Leonard tonight due to knee injury management. Ty Lue mentioned that the team wanted to start giving him a minutes restriction leading into the All-Star break, so it seems like this is more of a rest-type situation for Kawhi. Additionally, the Clippers just made a few trades, so they'll be missing a plethora of players due to that. Bones Hyland, Eric Gordon, and Mason Plumlee are all out because the trade is still pending. 

For the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable, which is a huge deal for a shorthanded Clippers team. Khris Middleton is out with right knee injury management, Bobby Portis is out with a right knee MCL sprain, and Jae Crowder is out because his trade is still pending.

The LA Clippers blew a 21-point lead against the Milwaukee Bucks and lost in the final seconds due to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George both missing game-winning shots in their last game against each other. This time around, the Clippers won't have Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson, or Luke Kennard - so there will be a lot more pressure on Paul George to perform better. 

The LA Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks tipoff at 10:30 PM ET on February 10.
