As the NBA All-Star break approaches, teams around the league have a few more games to survive before finally getting to rest. An East vs. West clash on Tuesday between the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers should be a very interesting matchup.

The Clippers are within striking distance of their rivals, the Lakers, for the top spot in the Western Conference. They enter the week just three games back and are playing some good basketball heading into the break. With seven wins in their last 10 games, they could improve a bit in their consistency, but overall the new-look Clippers are right where they need to be for a second-half run. One worrying sign for Los Angeles could be Kawhi Leonard’s workload. The league’s seventh-highest scorer has already sat out 13 games this season due to injuries and fatigue.
For the Sixers, the situation is a bit more pressing. Everyone knows they have the talent to compete with any team in the league, but their performances and results this season have left a lot to be desired. Despite a current two-game winning streak, Philadelphia is just 5-5 in its last 10 games. Head coach Brett Brown has received the dreaded vote of confidence from general manager Elton Brand. However, if the Sixers don’t start living up to their potential in the second half of the season, some changes are likely to be made.
