The Clippers are no longer just looking to make it to the playoffs.
They’re looking to move up the playoff ladder.
The Clippers (22-21) will play host to the Denver Nuggets (23-21) on Wednesday, with L.A. looking to extend a season-high five-game win streak and further solidify itself in the Western Conference playoff picture.
Coming into Tuesday, the Clippers sat in the seventh spot in the Western Conference playoff picture, with Denver sitting in the eighth spot and Portland in the ninth spot. However, both the Nuggets and Blazers played (and won) on Tuesday night. Entering Wednesday, the Clippers are now in the ninth slot right behind Denver and Portland.
