The LA Clippers are in Boston to face the Celtics on Saturday night, and it will be the second half of a back-to-back. The Clippers beat the Toronto Raptors on Friday night, and are right back in action on Saturday against Boston. 

Clippers star Paul George is being listed as questionable for this game with groin soreness, which is the same injury designation he had for Friday night's game against the Raptors. Despite the questionable listing in that game, George did suit up and play, sticking to a minutes restriction that was right around 30 minutes. With this being the second half of a back-to-back, George will likely receive a final status shortly before game time.

The Clippers have been absolutely dominant for nearly two months now. Games like this are always a great test to see just how good a team is playing, as Boston is one of the only teams playing even close to as good as the Clippers right now. If George is unable to go, that of course removes a lot of the intrigue surrounding this game, but he has yet to be ruled in or out.

The Celtics are missing Kristaps Porzingis for this game, who has been a huge piece to their success this season, so this will not be a fully healthy battle even if George is able to go. That said, there will still be plenty of star power in this game.
