The Clippers want to return to the playoffs after missing it last year. The team got closer to clinching a playoff berth with the win over the Trail Blazers (136-125).
There is one regular season game left which is against the Suns. Phoenix has already rested its stars in previous game since the last two games have no impact on their seed.
After the Portland game Clippers head coach Ty Lue was asked if he will sit out players against the Suns. “No,” he responded without any hesitation.
Depending on other results, the Clippers can finish as high as 5th place or as low as the 7th.
