LA Clippers’ Scouting Report

The LA Clippers are out to a good start despite the injuries. They currently have a record of 24 wins and 14 losses. That record is good enough for 4th in the Western Conference and 2nd in the Pacific Division. Expect the Clippers to make a run into the playoffs and be a title contender as long as they can get and stay healthy.

Last time out, the Clippers played the Memphis Grizzlies in Los Angeles. LA walked away victorious by a score of 115-106 on Wednesday. Below is a highlight video to give you a look at their recent form.

Without Chris Paul, the Clippers have been calling on Coach Doc Rivers’ son Austin to join the starting line-up. Austin has responded well. In his 9 games as a starter this season, he averages 16.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 2.0 turnovers, and 2.4 three-pointers made per game while shooting 47.3% from the field, 44.9% from three-point territory, and 83.3% from the foul line. Those are great numbers. Austin Rivers often gets overlooked because he is the coach’s son and fans think he may be helped along by that, but this 24-year-old can play. Look for a healthy dose of Austin Rivers if Chris Paul is out tonight.
