While the team has been playing better basketball overall, the Clippers' recent surge can be attributed to the stellar play of star forward Kawhi Leonard. In the 12 games heading into Wednesday night's win, "The Klaw" was averaging 32.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 2.6 steals in 34.8 minutes per game.

The Clippers host the Washington Wizards on Jan. 14 at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome before embarking on a four-game road trip. They return home for matchups against the Lakers and Brooklyn Nets on Jan. 22 and Jan. 25, then close the pre-break schedule with nine more games — seven of them away from home.
