Teams Preview
LA Clippers
The return of Kawhi Leonard has turned things around for the LA Clippers, who are moving up in the rankings with a series of wins and clutch plays from the ‘Claw’. The side still relies on Harden’s playmaking, but Leonard sparked the defensive duties and also helped the side on the offensive end with his efficient performances.
The team averages 111.9 points in the season and has an offensive rating of 115.3. But their defensive improvement helped them win recent matchups. On the offensive end, the team averages only 23.5 assists per game and has 15.4 turnovers. With that, the offensive stats took a serious hit, putting the team in 27th position.
Around the board, the Clippers struggled with just 40.4 rebounds per game and five blocks, but complemented this with an average of 8.7 steals per game. Interestingly, their numbers have improved in recent games, although they still stand in the lower half of the standings.
Charlotte Hornets
The Charlotte Hornets had many issues in the past with veterans not finding their place on the roster and even the offensive side struggling to produce expected numbers on the floor. But now they're pushing for a seat among the elites and have formed a new offensive trio on the roster. LaMelo Ball still controls the pace of the game and has potent support from Miles Bridges and Kon Knuppel.
With that, the team averages 116.1 points (15th in the league) this season. Bettering its playmaking and finishing, the side averages 26.5 assists, which is 13th in the league. Interestingly, the team managed a strong presence around the board, with 45.2 rebounds and 4.7 blocks per game. With quick hands, the team averages 6.9 steals. Yet, the team defense lacks perfect sync as the team stands 21st with a 116.4 defensive rating.
