Expected starting lineup, injury report and how to watch Clippers vs Magic

On By Littum

The LA Clippers return to the hardwood for their third game in four nights when they face the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. After picking up back-to-back wins over the Utah Jazz and Western Conference-leading Golden State Warriors on Sunday and Monday, respectively, LA will look to get their third straight win over a young and talented Magic team.

Their performances have been up-and-down this season, but the Clippers have consistently won with their defense. Steve Kerr praised the Clippers for controlling the tempo defensively after their win over the Warriors, and he praised James Harden for his style of play offensively as well.

Fatigue can often set in for NBA teams when they play so many games in a short amount of time, but the Clippers still need every win they can get to keep pace in a loaded Western Conference. The Magic are borderline unstoppable at the moment, winning their last six games in a row and not losing since November 6th. LA has a tall task ahead of it.
