Clippers Host Rival Lakers Monday Night

The Los Angeles Clippers will host their crosstown rival Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center on Monday night. The Clippers are coming off a thrilling win over the Sacremento Kings thanks to buzzer beat by Blake Griffin.

For the Clippers, they have been decimated by injuries. Milos Teodosic has been out with a foot injury. Danilo Gallinari has missed several weeks due to a hip injury and now Patrick Beverley is done for the year following knee surgery.

With the injuries, it has forced Lou Williams, Wesley Johnson, and Blake Griffin to take on an even bigger load on the offensive end of the court.

On the Lakers side, they have started up and down. Rookie point guard Lonzo Ball has shown signs of great promise at times but has struggled to the shoot the ball. He has even been benched for Sixth man of the year candidate Jordan Clarkson in fourth quarters of some games.

Second-year forward Brandon Ingram is having a solid start to the season but it is Kyle Kuzma who is leading the team in scoring at 16.8 points per game.

Fans can tune in and watch the game at 7:30 p.m. PST it should be a good one!
