The team plays six of its last seven regular-season games at home, beginning Thursday night against Denver, but Harden’s shooting and Kawhi Leonard’s knee issue are concerns.
Clippers guard James Harden missed two games last month because of a strained left shoulder, which could be contributing to his lack of scoring lately. The future Hall of Famer has not scored more than 16 points in his past nine games. The Clippers return home after their last extended road trip of the season having shed their “soft” tag and collected victories in three of the four games.
“It’s definitely one we should be up for,” All-Star Paul George said about facing the Nuggets in the Clippers’ return home. “It’s a game that we need to establish who we are.” The Clippers got a glimpse of where they stand during the recent four-game trip. After beating the Philadelphia 76ers, they closed out the Orlando Magic two nights later after squandering two double-digit leads in the second half. Then on Sunday, the Clippers held off the Charlotte Hornets despite giving up 23 3-pointers.
