Looking at the matchup on the basketball court, the Clippers are coming off a tough loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday night, in which, they missed 16 straight shots in the second half.
The loss is the Clippers' sixth in their last seven games and are still playing without injured forward Danilo Gallinari, their second-leading scorer. Gallinari, who is averaging 19 points and six rebounds, has already missed two games in a row due to back spasms.
Miami (22-23) is seventh place in the Eastern Conference playoff race; The Clippers sit in eighth place in the Western Conference at 25-22.
