The Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers meet for the second time in three days on Saturday. The Clippers will have a chance to level the scores on their home court after losing 115-102 in Phoenix on Thursday. It won't be an easy task as LA lacks momentum after dropping four of its last five games.
Kawhi Leonard's absence only makes things trickier for the home team. Nevertheless, a few tweaks could see the Clippers back on track. Meanwhile, the Suns are living up to the wildcard label, winning three of their last four. Jalen Green's thrilling season debut on Thursday has elevated them further.
Here's a look at the teams' starting lineup combinations.
