Brooklyn Nets vs. Los Angeles Clippers preview

The Clippers roll into Brooklyn on a hot streak, having won nine of their last eleven, while the Nets are mired in a brutal slump with just two wins in their last seventeen outings.

LA's dynamic duo of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard have been lighting it up, with Harden dropping 29 and Leonard notching a 27-point double-double in their recent drubbing of the Knicks.

For the struggling Nets, Nic Claxton's been a lone bright spot, putting up 22 and 11 with five blocks in their last game, but he'll need a lot more help to slow down the Clippers' high-octane offense.

The Nets' fourth-quarter woes (dead last in the league in Q4 scoring) could spell trouble against a Clippers squad that's been finishing games strong.

While Brooklyn's had some success as home underdogs, covering in eight of their last nine against the Clips after a loss, LA's been money in night games against Eastern Conference foes, covering six straight.

Keep an eye on the Clippers' Norman Powell, who's been providing a spark off the bench and could feast on a Nets defense that's been leaking points all season.

With the Nets potentially missing key pieces in Cam Thomas, Trendon Watford, and Ziaire Williams, they'll need to dig deep to avoid getting run off their home court.

This cross-country clash at Barclays has all the makings of a statement game for the surging Clippers, who look primed to keep their momentum rolling against a Nets team searching for answers.
