Los Angeles Clippers
The LA Clippers have faced several issues integrating James Harden into their lineup. As a result, Coach Lue has had to make adjustments, like having Russell Westbrook come off the bench, in an effort to keep everyone engaged and happy. While Harden has had negative plus-minuses in previous games, his performance in their Friday matchup had a +21 plus-minus rating. The Clippers offense reduces by 8.2 points and their opponent's offense increases by 13.5 points when Harden is on the court- an issue the team will have to address and improve upon. Despite their lack of size in the frontcourt, LA has managed to maintain an offensive rebound rate of 32.5% among their last five games. Among the league, the Clippers power rank 10, average 112.55 points per game, allow 110.64 points, and are 4-7 (4-7ATS). Offensively, they hit an average of 47.37% field goals (ranked #12) and 76.65% free throws (#16). Defensively, they allow an average of 45.81% field goals (ranked #9) and 77.43% free throws (ranked #15). With all of their averages combined, the Clippers are having difficulty adjusting to Harden, but are taking the initiative to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
