The Philadelphia 76ers (27-21, 6th in the Eastern Conference) take on the Los Angeles Clippers (23-25, 9th in the Western Conference) in an interconference matchup on Monday night. The Sixers are riding a three-game winning streak but face challenges with Paul George’s 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy. The Clippers, winners of five straight at home, look to extend their momentum after a defensive masterclass in Phoenix. This is the second meeting this season, with Philadelphia winning the first 110-108 on November 17, 2025, at home.

Intuit Dome, Inglewood, California.

Key
Player Matchups
Philadelphia’s size advantage inside could exploit LA’s frontcourt, but the Clippers’ perimeter defense remains stout. Projected starting lineups (based on recent rotations and injuries):
| Position | 76ers | Clippers |
| PG | Tyrese Maxey | Terance Mann |
| SG | VJ Edgecombe | Norman Powell |
| SF | Kelly Oubre Jr. | Kawhi Leonard |
| PF | Dominick Barlow | Amir Coffey |
| C | Joel Embiid | Ivica Zubac |
Key matchups to watch:
Joel Embiid vs. Ivica Zubac: Embiid (26.2 PPG, 11.2 RPG) is on a tear with 29+ points in seven straight, projecting for 32 points and 12 rebounds. Zubac (12.8 PPG, 10.4 RPG) grabbed 20 rebounds recently but struggles against elite bigs like Embiid.
Tyrese Maxey vs. Terance Mann: Maxey (25.4 PPG, 5.8 APG) exploded for 40 points recently and could exploit Harden’s absence. Mann’s defense is solid, but Maxey projects for 28 points and 6 assists.
Kelly Oubre Jr. vs. Kawhi Leonard: Leonard (27.7 PPG) leads LA in scoring and is healthy, projecting 26 points. Oubre (15.6 PPG) must contain him, but Leonard’s mid-range game gives the edge.
Overall: 76ers’ rebounding vs. Clippers’ defense: Philadelphia ranks high in rebounds (46.2 per game), but LA allows just 109.3 PPG recently. Expect a low-scoring battle with turnovers key.
