The Los Angeles Clippers currently sit fourth in the Western Conference standings, 2.5 games behind the No. 1 Nuggets. Offensively, they averaged 109.2 points per game while shooting 46.4 percent from the field. It’s the second-worst team in points per game and the 20th-worst team in field goal percentage. Paul George leads the offense on the court, averaging 23.7 points on 45 percent shooting from the field.
Los Angeles also showed multiple players who can get very hot from beyond the arc. They made 37.2 percent of their three-pointers, the eighth-highest three-point percentage in the league. Unfortunately, they’ve struggled to hit the charity stripe. They’re shooting 75.7 percent from the free-throw line, which ranks only 24th in the NBA. They need to take advantage of these rim-free opportunities and still want to win those games.
The Boston Celtics currently sit at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, two games ahead of the second-placed Milwaukee Bucks. Offensively, they averaged 118.9 points per game while shooting 47.9 percent from the field. That’s the team with the most points per game and the ninth-highest field goal percentage. Jayson Tatum leads the offense on the court, averaging 31.1 points on 47.7 percent shooting from the field.
Boston also showed multiple players who can fire from beyond the arc. They made 37.8 percent of their 3-pointers, the sixth-highest three-point percentage in the league. They’re also in charge of the charity stripe business, as they shoot 82.8 percent from the free-throw line, the best free-throw percentage of any team in the NBA. They must take advantage of these freedoms to look at the rim to keep winning these games.
Los Angeles ranks just 29th in points per game, and they have the second-worst adjusted offensive rating. They need to score more efficiently, and this Boston Celtics team is strong enough on both ends of the floor to stretch the gap throughout the game.
The Celtics are currently 12th in points allowed per game, and they continue to put pressure around the rim and on the perimeter. The Clippers will struggle offensively, and the Celtics will slowly widen the gap throughout the game.
