That first set of back-to-backs are games against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic.Unfortunately for the Clippers, playing in a back-to-back means that they'll have to play without either Kawhi Leonard or Ben Simmons.

Leonard scores 31 points and the Clippers overwhelm Brooklyn, 132-100, for their 10th win in 12 games as they fight to hold on to sixth place in the Western Conference.

Which makes the Clippers — who have outscored opponents by 7.5 points per 100 non-garbage-time possessions with Leonard on the court, according to Cleaning the Glass, a net rating that would trail only Oklahoma City, Cleveland and Boston over the course of the full season — pretty damn interesting coming down the home stretch.
