The Clippers could be severely shorthanded when they face the Celtics with multiple rotation players listed on the injury report.

Fresh off a 40-point romp to begin their run through California, the Boston Celtics now head down the coast for a matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night in Inglewood, Calif.

Los Angeles aims to extend its four-game win streak with a victory against Boston. Wednesday's matchup is the first this season for the teams.

Leonard has played just five games this season, as star guards James Harden and Norman Powell have had to carry the offense on their backs. Both Harden and Powell are having All-Star-caliber seasons and have played huge roles in LA's success.

Iffy against Boston

With Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac unavailable, the Clippers can’t keep up with Zach LaVine (35 points) and Chicago after halftime and lose for the first time in five games, 112-99.

The undefeated streak continues for Ivica Zubac, although Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis was on the receiving end of it. A 21-point and 19-rebound double-double had many in awe. Funny enough, the Clippers have a perfect record when Zubac posts at least 20+ points and 15+ rebounds.

NBA season has arrived, and every team’s performance is under the microscope. Including championship contenders and rebuilding squads, these mid-season grades reflect their success (or struggles) so far.

Whether it's the trade deadline, postseason awards or playoff success, our NBA insiders break down the players under the most pressure for all 30 teams.

CJ McCollum scored six of his 45 points in overtime and the New Orleans Pelicans orchestrated the largest comeback in franchise history, overcoming a 25-point deficit to beat Utah Jazz 123-119 on Monday night.

Zubac (eye) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Zubac will miss his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left eye corneal abrasion. Mo Bamba will likely draw another start in his absence. Zubac's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Washington.
