The Los Angeles Clippers have managed to right the ship after a miserable 6-21 start to the season. After a 119-105 win over the Washington Wizards, on Wednesday night, the Clippers have won 11 of 13, including four straight, and are just a half-game back of the 10th place Memphis Grizzlies for the last play-in spot at 17-23.

James Harden voiced his belief that the Clippers can climb from an early-season hole into playoff contention and dismissed the idea that the struggles would drive him away.

Bradley Beal (hip), Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) will remain sidelined for the Clippers. The Knicks, on the other hand, will not have the services of Josh Hart (ankle) and Landry Shamet (shoulder) for Wednesday’s contest.

James Harden surged past Shaquille O’Neal on the NBA’s all-time scoring list during the Clippers’ road game against the Hornets, adding a historic milestone to Los Angeles’ push for consistency.

Leonard scores 33 points and James Harden adds 22 as the short-handed Clippers see their 24-point lead whittled to one before holding on for a 119-105 home win.
