Kawhi Leonard is expected to sit out in first game of a Clippers back-to-back.

They are figuring things out, especially on the defensive end. Solutions to being the worst team in the NBA, solutions to recent third-quarter blowouts, and solutions to losing eight of is past nine games. The defense feels like it's destined to be one of the league’s worst all season.

The Clippers beat the Pistons 142-131 in overtime on the road to secure a win in one of the worst and most embarrassing basketball games I've ever seen.

Some of that is on the Clippers’ coaching staff for their poor rotations, but that’s not to let the players off the hook for their lazy passing and poor effort on defense and on the glass. [Nic Batum has been awesome this season](https://www.latimes.com/sports/clippers/story/2022-12-22/clippers-nicolas-batum-is-nba-survivor-longevity) and needs to play a lot. The Pistons seemingly thought the game was won and stopped playing, while the Clippers, with actual defenders and size in, were able to get stops and scores in transition. The Clippers need to do something different, and that probably involves one of the smaller guards exiting the rotation for a true center, Robert Covington (seems unlikely) or even Amir Coffey. Fortunately, the Pistons were no better, and the Clippers were able to keep the lead close in the early minutes. The Pistons cut into the lead, and then, somehow, took the lead during a four-minute Clippers’ scoring drought. He missed the first and made the second. Entering the bonus at the 8:53 mark, a parade of free throws and threes saw the Clippers grow their lead to as large as 15. A series of Clippers’ turnovers got the Pistons into transition and easy buckets. Unfortunately, in a first-half theme, the Clippers were unable to get any separation because the Pistons kept making threes. John Wall had a nice shift with some great passes, though the Clippers missed on a number of looks that could have given them a real lead against a horrid Pistons bench unit. Unsurprisingly, the defense and rebounding of this unit was awful, and the Pistons scored a bunch down the stretch to go up 36-31.

Three quick observations from Monday night's 142-131 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Little Caesars Arena.

After seeing the Clippers score on nine of their first 10 possessions to triple a five-point halftime lead – continuing a trend of disastrous third quarters that defined their five-game losing streak – the Pistons mounted a 19-3 run to take a one-point lead with 2:34 left in the quarter and expanded the lead to four to close the quarter with a 27-8 run. But the Clippers outscored the Pistons 16-2 in the last three minutes of regulation and never trailed in overtime to hand the Pistons a searing loss, their sixth straight.

The Pistons were ready to celebrate a victory against the Los Angeles Clippers when their head coach Tyronn Lue pulled his starters and opted for his bench in ...

If there is one silver lining, the Pistons did not choke the game in the third quarter this time. The Clippers bench came back to tie the game, and then the Clippers starters finished the job. The Pistons were up fourteen and it was all smiles in Detroit, emphasize the word "was".

The Clippers have had a few days off, and now get a bad Pistons team on the road before the end of December schedule gets very tough. Game Information.

The Clippers would be lost without Nico: while Norm Powell is the Clippers’ third scorer, and Ivica Zubac has been great, the Clippers’ third most important player might well be the 34-year-old veteran from France. No Kawhi, Yes Wall: John Wall is back after a game off, while Kawhi Leonard is out for tonight on the first of a back-to-back. It’s been a brutal December for Wall, who isn’t shooting well from anywhere on the court, so getting him more minutes and touches with no Kawhi against an awful Pistons’ defense is a nice strategy to get him going again. The Pistons have a good argument for worst team in the NBA.

One player missing for Detroit in that game, Isaiah Stewart, will be available tonight, and rebounding was a particular pain point in the first game. Kawhi Leonard, who was a plus-26 in 24 minutes in the first meeting between these two teams, will miss tonight’s action as the Clippers begin a back-to-back tonight. However, an all-too-familiar third-quarter collapse with the Clippers besting the Pistons 26-17 led to a 96-91 defeat.

The Clippers have a similarly defensive-minded profile – meaning Toronto will need their offense to show up tonight if they want to cover. The Raptors are 17-16 against the spread while 55% of their games have gone over. Additionally, this will be Kawhi’s first time playing in Toronto since winning the championship with them in 2019.

The Raptors also have a quiet star in OG Anunoby who is healthy and playing the best basketball of his career. But the Clippers never seem to make things easier for themselves and so they’ll head over the border to face a rested Raptors team that hasn’t played since Dec. Terance Mann, who is probably the most well-rounded player on the team outside of the Clippers stars, needs to be playing more. He’s playing some great basketball right now, but the Clippers have two players in Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington, should he actually play, that could perhaps make things tough for Siakam defensively. Sure the Clippers managed to pull off the win against the Pistons, but that was not a good look at all for a team that was supposed to be turning the corner.

Thirty-four months after being traded to Portland, Powell had the Clippers' visit to Toronto circled on his calendar.

Lue was happy to see Powell rewarded for all of the hard work he has put in to become one of the team’s top offensive pieces. “Sixth Man of the Year should be his goal, and he has a great opportunity to do that.” For Powell, it was an opportunity to build on what he learned from Portland head coach Chauncey Billups’ offense without having to start at the small forward spot with two small guards, as he was doing with [Damian Lillard](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/damian-lillard-kE0E92pvJGKazRQb/) and [CJ McCollum](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/cj-mccollum-6WC3b3hAgVqA0bZf/) with the Trail Blazers.
