Consistent Third Scorer

With Blake Griffin being out, Chris Paul and JJ Redick have been carrying the load, and it’s starting to become troublesome for the Clippers.

Therefore, someone must step up to become a third scorer consistently until Griffin is back.

DeAndre Jordan might have to become that guy to protect the rim and dominate offensively.

Jordan doesn’t have the best offensive tools, but Paul will get Jordan plenty of easy buckets at the rim and he must take advantage of each opportunity he can get.

Also, making free throws is a must in order to beat Golden State tonight. Jordan isn’t a great free throw shooter but if he’s intentionally fouled at any point of the game, he must capitalize on those free points.

Every point counts when facing Golden State.

Another wild card would be “Mr. Inconsistency” in Jeff Green.

Green has been up and down since joining the Clippers and his perimeter defense and ability to shoot the three-point shot will come in handy tonight.

Hopefully Green can get it going this late in the season before playoff time comes.
