LAC Vs SAC Dream11, Team Overview, Match Centre And Probable Playing 5: Clippers’ unsavoury form threatens to plunge them further down the points tally.

Apart from Los Angeles Lakers, everyone in the annuls of the Western Conference has been waning in form. Denver Nuggets, LA Clippers and Utah Jazz have all decided to slump in form at the same time with each side falling to defeats in their foregone encounters.
What these set of events have done is give these Clippers much needed reprieve in the conference. At a time when they could have plummeted all the way into fourth spot, the side have managed to hang onto third given the way sides around them have crumbled simultaneously.
And with Denver Nuggets being defeated by Oklahoma yesterday, the Clippers are now in with a chance of moving back into second spot if they are able to come out with a win today. It’s not the only this thing which will spur them on though with the side needing to get its house in order after enduring two straight defeats.
Elsewhere, for the Kings, this tie is a howler of an affair. Although they managed to win their previous fixture and with the Clippers not in the finest of touches at the moments, the Kings are nothing more than mere pushovers on the day with the side having a horrendous 10-18 record to sit in 12th spot in the conference.
Probable Winner
The ideal encounter for LA Clippers to arrest their regressing form, this will be an outing where they maraud their way to a win. The Kings have failed to win the battle of the boards and pull off blocks at regular intervals, a plight which will lead to their defeat today.
