I Los Angeles Clippers di Doc Rivers, dopo un finale di stagione vincente, si qualificano al quarto posto della Western Conference: sfideranno i Portland Trail Blazers al primo turno dei Playoffs. In regular season Chris Paul & Co. hanno un ruolino di marcia di 3-1 contro Lillard e i suoi, ma i Blazers hanno dimostrato di saper essere un osso duro e questa potrebbe rivelarsi una delle serie più combattute del primo round.
