Key Contributors on the Clippers Roster
Paul George and Kawhi Leonard were the leading scorers prior to the arrival of Harden, who is a terrific scorer in his own right and averaged 36.1 points with Houston in 2018-19. Also coming over in the trade with Philadelphia was P.J. Tucker, a tough-as-nails defender who has locked horns with Kevin Durant in playoffs in the past. Ivica Zubac and Mason Plumlee are both accomplished centers, and Terrence Mann is a player the Sixers wanted but the Clippers refused to surrender.
The key issues here are 1) Can the Clippers stay healthy? and 2) How will these players co-exist with one another?
Where Can I Bet on the Clippers?

Los Angeles Clippers 2023 Schedule: Top Games
With the addition of Harden to a group that already had Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Russell Westbrook, expectations will be at an all-time high and there will certainly be some big-time games for the Clips. Here are some of the top Clippers games NBA fans will have circled on their calendars.
Vs Los Angeles Lakers, Nov. 1, 10:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN.
This is when we should get our first look at Harden and the first reading on how coach Tyronn Lue plans to use him with Russell Westbrook, as both are accomplished point guards who can both play well off the ball.
At Denver, Nov. 14, 10 p.m. TNT
The first meeting between the Clippers and the Western Conference favorites and defending champion Nuggets makes for a great second half of a TNT doubleheader that begins with Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama facing off in the opener.
At Golden State, Feb. 14, 10 p.m. TNT
By Valentine's Day, we should have a better idea which if these two teams is best constructed to advance in the NBA playoffs. The Warriors have the best shooter in the league in Steph Curry, and the Clippers may just decide to defend him with P.J. Tucker, which could lead to fireworks.
