The Los Angeles Clippers should be well in the mix of the top contenders in the Western Conference. After shocking many experts last season with a 50-win year, the Clippers reloaded their roster with notable additions such as Brook Lopez, John Collins, Bradley Beal, and Chris Paul. While they may have some age concerns on their roster, the talent is too much to ignore.

While they have stellar depth, the reality is that all of it comes down to the play of their star duo in James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, and what they can do throughout the season and especially into the playoffs. Health is also a major concern for Leonard, but a recent statement indicates he could be starting off the year with a clean bill of health.
