The Clippers (20-34) (4-20 V) have lost seven of their last ten including five of six road games. They are only nine wins shy of its total from last season, and would be much closer if not for a dismal 4-20 away record, tying Minnesota for the fewest road victories in the Western Conference. Those road issues have showed few signs of changing as the Clippers give up an average of 106.9 points. Blake Griffin, though, is doing his part with 20.8 points per game and 12.6 rebounds over the last 10 road contests, tallying 21 points and 15 boards in a 98-93 loss at Toronto on Sunday. The former top overall draft pick leads all rookies with 22.7 points and 12.7 rebounds, and will be the team's lone representative at the All-Star game at Staples Center on Sunday. Griffin feels injuries to guard Eric Gordon (wrist), center Chris Kaman (ankle) and forward Craig Smith (back) are taking a toll on
the team. Gordon has a team-high 24.1 points per game, and won't be back until after the All-Star break.
The Bucks (20-33) (12-12 H) have won just three games in ten tries including seven of their last eight. The Bucks suffered a 103-97 home loss to Indiana on Saturday. "We didn't run the plays, just didn't execute the plays like we should," said swingman John Salmons, who made 4 of 11 shots for nine points. "Didn't have any ball movement." Brandon Jennings has struggled since returning from a broken foot, making 32.7 percent of his shots — 25.0 from beyond the arc — in nine games after missing the previous 19. The point guard finished with 10 points on 3-for-10 shooting Saturday. He's averaging 16.7 points in three meetings with the Clippers, scoring 12 in last month's loss. The Bucks could be without forward Corey Maggette after he left Saturday's loss midway through the first quarter with lower back pain. Maggette, averaging 13.1 points, scored 25 in the most recent matchup with the Clippers.
