The Clippers are currently 5th seed, and most are projecting them to hold on to a playoff spot despite Paul George's injury status.
Their star guard will be missing for at least the remainder of the regular season as he nurses himself back to health following a knee sprain. Although he won't require surgery, it's possible the 32-year-old may not be around for the first round of the playoffs.
In his absence, Kawhi Leonard's contributions have been immense. Most notably he delivered a monstrous performance against the Thunder, racking up 32 points on 13-of-15 shooting.
Will it be enough to keep them afloat while George recuperates? Sunday's defeat to the Pelicans provided us with an insight into their fatal flaw: Roster depth.
It is a weakness that could be found out across four nights where they face the Grizzlies twice before returning to New Orleans.
