Usually, it’s fairly easy for the Nuggets to decide on one opposing player per game that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope can mark as his primary matchup as a defender.The Clippers, throughout 2023-24, are going to be more complicated.With their recent trade with Philadelphia for 2018 MVP James Harden, the Clippers doubled down on their style of heavy isolation offense by adding a fourth 2010s mega-star.With Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles has 32 combined All-Star appearances, two league MVPs and a two-time NBA Finals MVP.
