Bismack Biyombo is getting the nod in the starting lineup tonight in place of Deandre Ayton.
Jock Landale gets to stay in the second unit that has had lots of success to start the year. – 8:31 PM

That’s three straight road losses to open the season for the Warriors. Blown out in Phoenix, overtime L in Charlotte, beat by 14 tonight in Detroit. They gave up 128 to Pistons. Veterans had second night of b2b energy and younger core didn’t pick them up. Record: 3-4. – 8:28 PM

“We’ll see.”
Monty Williams on whether Bismack Biyombo or Jock Landale will get start for Deandre Ayton (left ankle sprain) vs. #Rockets.
Biyombo started 2nd half Friday vs. #Pelicans as Ayton sprained ankle landing on Jonas Valanciunas’ foot on jumper in 1st quarter. #Suns – 7:21 PM

John Wall says he wants to play tomorrow against his former team Houston but will probably be held out since it’s a back to back. Wall told his teammates to go out and play with joy and have fun. He feels like the Clippers are feeling pressure. – 6:21 PM

It is not time for Clipper fans to panic, but it is getting close. Bad loss to New Orleans today is concerning. No Leonard for LAC, but no Ingram and other for Pels. Clips Need a win over Houston tomorrow night. – 5:17 PM

Pelicans defeat Clippers 112-91 in a game that was tied at halftime.
LA is 2-4, just like last year. But this is the earliest four-game losing streak for the Clippers since they started 2010-11 0-4.
CJ McCollum had 22/5/3.
Rockets are back here for Halloween tomorrow. – 5:13 PM
