The Los Angeles Clippers are back home at the Intuit Dome after a three-game road trip that the Clippers finished 3-1, with their sole loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wednesday night's opponents are the New Orleans Pelicans.

This will be the third and final meeting of the season between the two teams. Currently, the season series is tied 1-1, with the winner of Wednesday's game taking the series.

In their most recent meeting, Los Angeles was never able to take control of the game. They took the lead late in the third quarter but came out flat in the fourth, which allowed the Pelicans to run away with the game.

The Clippers are heading into the game with a fairly clean injury report containing two players: Amir Coffey and Jordan Miller.

Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are AVAILABLE.

Amir Coffey is out with left knee soreness, and Jordan Miller is out with left hamstring tendinopathy.
