ESPN NBA analyst Tim Legler believes the Los Angeles Clippers can make a strong postseason run after surviving the play-in. The Clippers will need to beat the Golden State Warriors (37-45) in the 9-10 Play-in game at home April 15 and then defeat the 7-8 loser on the road April 17 to secure the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs. Legler praised the team's veteran leadership and player Kawhi Leonard. The Suns are set to play against the Portland Trail Blazers in the 7/8 Play-In game April 14, with the winner advancing as the seventh seed. The loser will face the Clippers' winner.
