Derrick Jones Jr. (F): Out (right knee sprain) – Out until mid-February; impacts athleticism.
Chris Paul (PG): Out (not with team) – Veteran facilitator absent.

Player Matchups
Injuries shift focus to available stars in this potential defensive battle:
Kawhi Leonard (Clippers SF) vs. Scottie Barnes (Raptors SF): Leonard’s scoring (28.2 PPG) and defense test Barnes’ versatility (17.5 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 5.6 APG). If Leonard plays, his mid-range game could exploit gaps; Barnes’ assists (13 in recent game) might create for others.
James Harden (Clippers PG) vs. Immanuel Quickley (Raptors PG): Harden’s playmaking (21.2 PPG, 6.6 APG) faces Quickley’s quickness (if available). Harden’s step-backs could draw fouls; Quickley’s back spasms might limit his impact.
Ivica Zubac (Clippers C) vs. Sandro Mamukelashvili (Raptors F/C): With Poeltl out, Zubac’s rebounding (~10 RPG) vs. Mamukelashvili’s illness-limited play. Zubac could dominate inside if healthy.
Bench Battle: Yanic Konan Niederhauser/Clippers reserves vs. Gradey Dick/Raptors depth: Niederhauser’s efficiency (16 points recently) could provide spark; Dick’s shooting stretches the floor amid Toronto’s injuries.
