9) L.A. Clippers

After doing the one thing they couldn’t do and remain afloat in the Wild West — incur major injuries — the L.A. Clippers finally look to be getting the band back together. Point guard Milos Tedosic may be on some restrictions with his plantar fascia issues, but he’s back in effect and Blake Griffin is soon to follow.

Griffin may even be in action when the Clips take on their Staples Center roomies on Friday night. The All-Star big man practiced with the G-League’s Agua Caliente Clippers on Wednesday and got in some work with his own squad the following day. He’s currently listed as questionable to play against LAL.

Hats off to Lou Williams for doing his best to hold down the fort in their absence. The combo guard is currently averaging a career-high 20.8 points in 32 games this season.

Next: No. 8
