Biggest Storyline(s) to Watch

James Harden is the sole star for Los Angeles right now, and he’s making a significant impact with averages of 21.8 points and 10.8 assists per game.

Despite this, the Clippers have struggled to find offensive rhythm, averaging just 108.3 points per game and shooting a disappointing 33% from three-point range.

Despite being battered and bruised, the Clippers are not to be underestimated, especially when it comes to battling on the boards, too. They’re anchored by Ivica Zubac, who has been a force in the paint, averaging 17.5 points and 13 rebounds per game, with 3.8 of those coming on the offensive end.

For the Spurs, the key to success will be to limit Harden’s impact on the game. With their length and defensive versatility, they have a legitimate chance to disrupt his flow.

If they can effectively contain Harden and force the rest of the Clippers' lineup to step up, they could find themselves in a strong position to secure a crucial victory in the West.
