Reggie Jackson and the LA Clippers (35-33) will take on Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks (31-34) in part of the Friday NBA slate.
The Hawks enter this matchup on a two-game losing streak and are in need of turning things around to maintain a cushion on the Washington Wizards for the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Clippers, who are winners of seven of their last 10 games, not only this matchup coming off a win, but also with a sizable lead over the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans for eight in the Western Conference standings.
Despite not having Kawhi Leonard or Paul George in the lineup for so much of the 2021-22 season, the Clippers continue to do what they can to stay float behind the coaching of Tyronn Lue.
