The Clippers are in danger of falling into the Western Conference play-in tournament amid a 3-5 stretch. Tyronn Lue's squad ranks 16th in offense and 19th in defense during that span. Los Angeles allowed the Indiana Pacers to score 129 points on 46-of-84 (54.8 percent) with 31 assists and 12 turnovers during a blowout loss on Sunday.

The Los Angeles Clippers are continuing their eight-game road trip with stop number four in Michigan, to take on the red-hot Detroit Pistons who are winners of their last six games. Monday's game will be the first regular-season meeting between the two teams.

With Kawhi Leonard, Norman Powell and Ben Simmons unavailable, the Clippers don’t have enough firepower to keep up with Cade Cunningham (32 points) and Detroit in a 106-97 defeat.
