Other than Detroit, the Cavs roster is filled with an obscene amount of centers. The leader of that pack is Andre Drummond, who couldn’t play against the Timberwolves because of back soreness. Experts are linking him to a move away before the trade deadline, but he should take to the court for this encounter.
They are back in the Playoff hunt after a couple of mediocre seasons. The Sexland trio (Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, and Andre Drummond) have been the driving force behind that.

Though, there has been no one more impressive than Sexton, who is on the cusp of a maiden all-star berth. He is averaging 24.1 points per game on 43.5% three-point shooting. And he will be their key player against the Clippers.

They share the same record as their cross-town rivals as of now. Aside from a 50-point loss against the Mavericks, they have looked like a legitimate title contender. Most of that is down to the form of Paul George.
He’s left the Pandemic P at the bubble and has been their most important player this season, even more so than Kawhi Leonard. For this game, Patrick Beverley will probably continue to sit out because of a heavy knock on his left knee.
