Blake Griffin vs Draymond Green
Blake is back. He is looking every bit the offensive stud the Clippers need, especially now that he is knocking down 3 pointers with a greater than 40% success rate. That is elite. Draymond Green is a defensive monster and generally is the chief suspect for getting under opponents skin. He certainly seemed to have Griffin’s number last year. There isn’t much to analyse here. Griffin needs to bring it, and battle hard with Green all night. Nothing will come easy, but we have seen Griffin’s extensive offensive repertoire on show so far this year. The Clippers need to win this matchup to be successful Monday night.
