Comments: As the number one star of the Clippers, Leonard is not comfortable in his heart when he is absent at a critical time. At this time, the Clippers need to work together to get through the difficulties. Leonard has a wealth of combat experience, and it is also a contribution to mentoring and cheering his teammates on the field. Leonard will reportedly be sidelined for G5.
2. Doncic's injury
Doncic said of his injury today: "The knee injury is still bothering me, and I've had coughing and nasal congestion lately. If it had been the regular season, I probably wouldn't have played. ”
Doncic
Comments: The playoffs are not only about skills, but more importantly, about will. The intense game wears out the players and more or less suffers from injuries. As Irving has said before, no player is 100 per cent healthy. Minor injuries are not in the line of fire, which is reflected in Doncic. However, if Doncic is sidelined, the Mavericks may be more difficult to deal with. Doncic averaged 29 points per game in this series.
3. Bao Renjun looks down on Harden
Bao Renjun, a well-known American media person, said before the game: "Has Harden played the performance of Maxey G5 in the battle of life and death? ”
Harden
Comments: Bao Renjun is famous for Denghei. Due to the poor performance in the playoffs over the past few seasons, Bao Renjun has always lost hope for Harden. Maxey scored seven straight points in the final 20 seconds yesterday to send the game into overtime and beat the Knicks in overtime. In the first four games, Harden averaged 26 points per game. The Clippers are also G5 today, will Harden slap Bao Renjun in the face?

Comments: At present, the Clippers and Mavericks are 2:2, G5 is crucial for the two teams, and whoever wins has a good chance of qualifying. Yesterday, ESPN predicted a 62.6% chance for the Mavericks and 37.4% for the Clippers. Will the Clippers win the battle of Kings without Leonard?
