The Boston Celtics will play host to the Los Angeles Clippers at their home arena of TD Garden this Sunday (Nov. 16) afternoon. Both ball clubs have made a recent turn toward better play, but neither has yet shown that they can play well consistently, part of the reason both of these clubs are currently outside of the play-in range if the season were to end today.
But in terms of player health, the Celtics have an advantage going into this tilt, and perhaps also in play style as well, with the Clippers having had issues with younger, more athletic teams like Boston. The Celtics ought to win this one, but the Clippers are hungry to get back on track.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Celtics have a 6-7 record coming into tonight’s contest after winning their last game. That is good enough for 11th in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Clippers own a 4-8 record, which puts them in the West’s 11th-place slot as well.
What happened in the last game for each team?
Boston beat the Memphis Grizzlies 131-95 at TD Garden.
Los Angeles beat the Dallas Mavericks 133-127 in overtime on the road.
