Both the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers may be without multiple key players in Friday night's matchup.

The Los Angeles Clippers are starting to believe that they can turn the season around after back-to-back wins.

The Clippers hadn't won two in a row since the second and third games of the season before beating Houston on Tuesday night.

Kawhi Leonard scored 41 points and James Harden added 29 as the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Houston Rockets 128-108 on Tuesday night

The Clippers did receive the gift of abysmal Lakers shooting, as the Lakers missed 40 of 50 shot attempts outside the paint. The Lakers made a season-low 6 of 38 3-point attempts (15.8 percent).

Amid a disastrous start to the 2025-26 season for the Los Angeles Clippers, there has been speculation about the future of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

Leonard scores 41 points and James Harden adds 29 as the Clippers make 20 3-point shots and hammer Houston, 128-108, to win consecutive games for just the second time this season.

Despite Zubac’s injury, the Clippers defeated the Lakers 103-88 and now have a 7-21 record. They currently sit 13th in the Western Conference standings, having finished in fifth place and ended the 2024-25 season in the first round of the playoffs.

The Rockets again see their shortest injury report yet, with veterans in Dorian Finney-Smith and Fred VanVleet as the only two listed.
