LA Clippers vs Brooklyn Nets: Predicted starting lineups and depth chart for Mar. 28 | NBA 2024-25 season

The LA Clippers continue their four-game Eastern Conference road trip with a stop in New York. After facing the Knicks on Wednesday night, Kawhi Leonard and Co. will face the Brooklyn Nets for the second and final matchup of the regular season series.

The only Clippers-Nets matchup of the 2024-2025 season took place at the Intuit Dome on January 15. The contest was fairly competitive for merely one quarter, after which the LA side went on a tear.

The All-Star duo of James Harden and Leonard erupted for 21 and 23 points, respectively. Fellow starters Derrick Jones Jr., Norman Powell, and Ivica Zubac also contributed to the 126-67 win, collectively recording 40 points and a box plus-minus of +137.

The Nets had a subpar shooting night, knocking down merely 30.1% FG, 17.9% 3FG and 54.5% FT. In the absence of Cameron Johnson and D’Angelo Russell, none of the starting lineup members scored in double digits.

Jordi Fernandez’s squad also turned the ball over 20 times, further contributing to a historically poor outing — the fewest points scored by a team in a single game over the last eight years.
