The Los Angeles Clippers hope to continue their winning ways into 2024 as they play against a hobbled Miami Heat team at Crypto.com Arena in a NBA New Years Day match up.
The Heat are without their star Jimmy Butler as well as other role players.
Coach Ty Lue has the team playing well and has integrated All Star James Harden in the line up with fellow superstars Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Russel Westbrook. Westbrook is playing extremely well as an added threat off the bench.
If the Clippers can keep up this pace they will be in the conversation with teams like the Denver Nuggets. If Kawhi Leonard and Paul George can stay healthy, they look to be a strong threat to contend in the Western Conference.
