Clippers and Bucks Set for Interconference Showdown
The Los Angeles Clippers take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Monday night.

The Clippers (39-20) have had some struggles since post-All-Star-break play tipped off, but they'll head into Monday's contest having won two straight games. Their most recent success came Sunday afternoon, when they edged the Minnesota Timberwolves by an 89-88 score. Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 32 points, complementing them with five rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block. Norman Powell recorded 24 points, three rebounds and one steal. Paul George turned in 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

The Clippers will remain without Russell Westbrook (hand) for Monday's game.

The Bucks (40-21) have seemingly overcome a rough start to the Doc Rivers era, as they'll enter Monday's game with five consecutive victories. Their most recent success came Friday night, when they topped the Chicago Bulls by a 113-97 score. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the way with a 46-point, 16-rebound double-double that included six assists, one steal and one block. Damian Lillard furnished 16 points, seven assists and three rebounds. Patrick Beverley managed 14 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block. Brook Lopez registered 12 points, three rebounds and one assist. Bobby Portis finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block.

The Bucks will list Antetokounmpo (Achilles) as questionable for Monday's contest. MarJon Beauchamp (back) will carry a probable tag, while Khris Middleton (ankle) will be listed as questionable.

Monday's game marks the first of two meetings between the teams this season. The Bucks swept the two-game 2022-23 regular-season series.
