I hope you were able to sleep in after your late-night New Year’s Eve festivities, Sixers fans, because Brett Brown’s club begins the 2019 schedule with a start time fit for night owls in Los Angeles. Philadelphia ended the 2018 calendar year on the lowest possible note, losing by 34 points two nights ago in Portland. The Clippers have been off since Saturday night, when they lost to the Spurs by 11 points at home. After jumping out to a great start this season and becoming a league darling, the Clippers are hanging in there at 21-15, currently tied for 4th place in the Western Conference.
