For Los Angeles, this contest marks its fourth and final game of the road trip. The Clippers, who sit in third place in the Western Conference standings with a record of 37-17, are averaging over 115 points per game in February. Kawhi Leonard is averaging 27.1 points per game, 7.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists this season, while Paul George is having an amazing season as well, averaging 22.6 PPG, 6.1 rebounds and four assists. Shooting guard Lou Williams and power forward Montrezl Harrell are also averaging nearly 20 points a game for this high octane offense. Williams had 27 points the first time these two teams met. The Clippers recently bolstered their lineup by adding Marcus Morris from the Knicks in a trade at the deadline. Morris was averaging 19.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.
The Boston Celtics have been red-hot, winning seven of their last eight games. The Rockets broke the Celtics seven-game win streak on Tuesday, beating Boston 116-105. The Celtics kicked off the month of February with a 21-point victory over the 76ers and recently edged out Oklahoma City on the road 112-111. The team will be represented in Chicago at the All-Star game by Jayson Tatum and guard Kemba Walker, who are averaging over 22 points a game. Walker is a four-time All-Star and an integral part of this team, which sits third behind the Bucks and Raptors in the Eastern Conference. It’s been a rotating door of rest and injuries for Brad Stevens’ squad, but when in full force, it is one of the best in the league.
