• The line for the game is the Clippers by 5 points.

• Backup power forward Montrezl Harrell continued his strong season with 22 points and nine rebounds against the Kings for his third 20-point outing in six games and 11th of the season. The 24-year-old is flourishing in his fourth NBA campaign and is shooting 63.6 percent from the field while putting up career-best averages of 15.5 points and 6.7 rebounds. “I’m glad he’s on our team,” Harris told reporters of Harrell. “He was everywhere — defensively, offensively, rebounding, scoring, making good plays. He was a big reason why we won (Wednesday).”

• Point guard Lonzo Ball narrowly missed a triple-double with 20 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds Thursday but had to be removed from the game with 1:42 remaining when he was hit with a severe leg cramp. “The way Lonzo was playing, I wanted the ball in his hands all the time,” Walton told reporters. “Unfortunately, he started cramping up so we couldn’t put that type of load on him.” Forward Kyle Kuzma took 24 shots (making 12) with James out while scoring 33 points for his third time topping 30 this season.

• Clippers backup G Lou Williams scored 24 points against Sacramento for his third 20-point effort over the past four games.
