The Los Angeles Clippers won their 18th game of the season as they cruised past through a hapless Chicago Bulls beating them 125-109. Vintage performances from the likes of Lou Williams and Marcus Morris propelled the team to their second successive win.

The Cleveland Cavaliers on the other hand suffered from their sixth loss in a row as they were beaten by the Blazers 129-110. Despite the return of key players like Darius Garland and Colin Sexton, the Cavs have suddenly vanished from the playoff contention.

The Clippers face off against the Cavaliers tonight at 10 PM EST. Take a look at the predicted lineups and the injury updates.

Los Angeles Clippers injury updates and predicted lineup

After suffering two embarrassing losses, the LA Clippers have bounced back in their last two games with back-to-back victories. They now have a record of 18 wins and 8 losses and are the third seed in the Western Conference.

Injuries surely haven’t helped their cause. They have some major injury concerns ahead of their game against the Kings. Jay Scrubb, their backup shooting guard, is suffering from a foot injury and superstar Paul George is also sidelined against the Cavs as he recovers from a foot injury.

Cleveland Cavaliers injury updates and lineup prediction

The Cleveland Cavaliers, who were in playoff contention in the month of January, have fizzled out of the top 8 spots in the month of February. Ever since their loss to the Clippers, they have been on a six game losing streak.

The Cavaliers have some injury concerns as their forward Kevin Love is sidelined with a calf injury. Their veteran guard Matthew Dellavedova is also out against the Lakers with a back injury and forward Larry Nance Jr. is also sidelined with a finger injury.

The Cavs face a Western Conference juggernaut in the Clippers, and will need a special performance if they want to break their unwanted streak.

Probable Lineup

Collin Sexton (G)

Darius Garland (G)

Taurean Prince (F)

Issac Okoro (F)

Andre Drummond (C)

Predictions

The Clippers might be missing Paul George, but have seen other stars like Lou Williams and Marcus Morris contribute to the team’s offense. LAC have too much quality on the court and given the dismal form the Cavs are in, the Clippers are heavy favorites to win this game.
