Los Angeles Clippers History

The Los Angeles Clippers have a unique and storied history, filled with ups, downs, and moments of transition. Originally founded in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves, the franchise was one of the NBA’s expansion teams. The Braves enjoyed early success with players like Bob McAdoo, but financial struggles eventually led to their relocation to San Diego in 1978, where they became the Clippers.

In 1984, the Clippers moved to Los Angeles, entering a city already dominated by the Lakers. For decades, the team struggled to shed its reputation as a perennial underachiever, despite occasional sparks of hope. Things began to change in the early 2010s with the arrival of Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, and DeAndre Jordan, forming the high-flying “Lob City” era, which saw the team become a consistent playoff contender.

Fast forward to today, and the Clippers are no longer the league’s underdog. With superstar additions like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the team has solidified itself as a powerhouse in the Western Conference. Though a championship has eluded them, the Clippers remain one of the NBA’s most intriguing franchises.

Los Angeles Clippers Stats

As of the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Clippers are proving to be a middle-tier team in several statistical categories. They rank in the top 10 in three-point shooting percentage and overall defensive efficiency, reflecting their focus on perimeter defense and shot-making. However, rebounding and turnovers continue to be areas of concern, as the team struggles to secure second-chance opportunities and limit opponent possessions.

On offense, the Clippers rely heavily on isolation plays, ranking among the league leaders in points created by individual stars. Their bench depth has also been a bright spot, with the second unit consistently contributing valuable minutes. To take the next step, the team needs to improve their interior defense and fast-break points, two areas where they currently rank below league average.

Los Angeles Clippers Roster for 2024-2025

The Clippers boast a roster filled with seasoned veterans and emerging talent. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George remain the focal points, but new acquisitions and bench players are also making an impact.

  • Standouts: Norman Powell has been a consistent scorer, providing offensive firepower in key moments. Ivica Zubac continues to anchor the team’s interior defense, showing improvement in rebounding and shot-blocking.
  • Underperformers: James Harden’s integration into the lineup has been inconsistent, as he adapts to a different offensive role. Meanwhile, Amir Coffey has struggled to find his rhythm this season.
  • Emerging Talent: Derrick Jones Jr. has become a valuable two-way player, using his athleticism to make defensive stops and energize the team in transition.

Los Angeles Clippers Injury Report

The Clippers’ performance has been hampered by injuries to key players like Kawhi Leonard who has missed time throughout the season. P.J. Tucker is also absent from the team this season. These absences have disrupted the team’s chemistry and contributed to an inconsistent record, but their depth has helped mitigate the impact.

This season, the Clippers have been middle of the pack so far, but there have been a few key trends we’re watching closely. As a sports bettor, you should watch these trends, too. 

Home Court Advantage: The Los Angeles Clippers’ performance at Crypto.com Arena has been a standout trend for bettors this season. Their ability to perform well at home stems from several factors, including crowd energy, familiarity with the court, and reduced travel fatigue. In home games, the Clippers have demonstrated stronger shooting percentages and defensive tenacity, especially in close contests. They’ve also shown an ability to dominate weaker teams, regularly covering the spread in matchups where they’re favored. For bettors, the key is identifying games where the Clippers face teams with poor road records or those coming off back-to-back games. These scenarios have proven to amplify the Clippers’ home court advantage, making them a reliable pick.

First Half Unders: The Clippers’ slow starts have become a predictable feature of their games this season. They rank in the lower third of the league in first-half scoring, often taking time to find their rhythm offensively. This is partly due to their defensive focus and deliberate pace, which limits possessions and creates fewer scoring opportunities early in games. Additionally, with stars like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George often easing into games or managing injuries, the team’s first-quarter scoring can be underwhelming. Bettors can capitalize by targeting first-half point total unders, especially in games against defensively strong opponents or when the Clippers are on the second night of a back-to-back. Watching for matchups with low over/under lines is key, as bookmakers sometimes overcompensate for full-game trends rather than first-half patterns.

Player Props on Role Players: One of the most intriguing betting opportunities with the Clippers lies in player props for their supporting cast. Due to load management strategies and injury risks for stars like Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, role players like Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac, and even Derrick Jones Jr. often step into larger roles. For example, Powell has proven to be a consistent scorer when given additional minutes, regularly exceeding his points prop lines in games where he takes on a leading role. Similarly, Zubac’s rebounding and defensive stats often surge against teams with weak interior play, making his rebound and block props attractive. Monitoring injury reports and minutes distributions is essential for finding value in these props. Bettors can also use trends from previous games to identify when these players are likely to outperform expectations.

Some of the trends we identified last season and saw come to fruition were:

  • Clutch Performances: The Clippers were one of the best teams in the NBA in close games last season, covering the spread in games decided by five points or fewer. Bettors who focused on moneyline wagers in tight matchups often profited.
  • Rebounding Struggles: The team consistently fell short in rebounding battles, making unders on opponent rebound props a profitable trend.
  • Three-Point Reliance: The Clippers shot a high volume of threes, with specific games seeing standout performances. Betting on individual three-point props for players like Powell and Leonard was often a smart play.

Key Players for Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers

We mentioned player props as one of the trends this season. There are a few key players you should watch out for when betting player props:

  • Normal Powell
  • James Harden
  • Ivica Zubac
  • Amir Coffey
  • Derrick Jones Jr. 

Norman Powell

Norman Powell has emerged as one of the most reliable scorers on the Clippers, especially in games where the team’s stars are sidelined or limited. Known for his aggressive drives to the basket, Powell generates a significant portion of his points at the free-throw line, making his scoring prop bets particularly appealing in games against teams that struggle with perimeter defense. 

His three-point shooting adds another dimension to his game, providing value for bettors in matchups against weaker defensive backcourts. Powell’s consistency makes him a great option for player props, especially when injuries to key players increase his shot volume. Watch for games where he’s projected to play 30+ minutes, as he often exceeds his points total in extended roles.

James Harden

James Harden remains a polarizing figure for bettors, but his ability to stuff the stat sheet can’t be ignored. While his scoring numbers may fluctuate, Harden’s assist totals are among the most dependable betting opportunities. His playmaking ability shines in the Clippers’ offense, often setting up teammates like Powell, Zubac, or Leonard for easy buckets. 

Harden’s triple-double potential makes combined points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) bets particularly lucrative, especially in games against fast-paced opponents where possessions increase. However, bettors should be mindful of his matchup, as strong perimeter defenses can limit his scoring opportunities, making his assist props a safer choice.

Ivica Zubac

Ivica Zubac is the backbone of the Clippers’ interior defense, and his rebounding props are a goldmine for bettors in the right matchups. Zubac consistently dominates the boards against teams with smaller or less physical frontcourts, often exceeding his projected rebound totals. He’s also a capable shot-blocker, adding value to defensive props like blocks and steals. 

While his scoring is less consistent, Zubac can be an under-the-radar pick for double-double props in games where he’s expected to see heavy minutes. Bettors should focus on matchups against teams with weak interior defenses or poor rebounding, as these are situations where Zubac thrives.

Amir Coffey

Amir Coffey is a bit of a wildcard, but his value spikes in games where the Clippers’ stars or key rotation players are unavailable. Known for his versatility, Coffey can contribute in multiple areas, including scoring, rebounding, and even assists. While his stats can be inconsistent, savvy bettors can find value in his player props when he’s expected to see extended minutes. 

Coffey’s three-point shooting and slashing ability make him a potential overachiever in high-tempo games or when the Clippers are forced to rely on their bench. Keep an eye on injury reports and lineup changes to identify when Coffey is likely to see an increased role.

Derrick Jones Jr.

Derrick Jones Jr. has carved out a role as an energy player who impacts the game on both ends of the floor. His athleticism and defensive versatility make him a strong candidate for props like steals, blocks, and even rebounds. Offensively, Jones Jr. thrives in transition and on cuts to the basket, providing value in points props when the Clippers face teams that struggle to defend athletic forwards. He’s also a sneaky option for combined points and rebounds props, especially in games where the Clippers are shorthanded. Bettors should focus on matchups where his defensive prowess and hustle play a significant role in the Clippers’ game plan.
