The Los Angeles Clippers host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Clippers have been continuing their rise from their shaky start earlier this season and are looking to turn back-to-back wins into a proper winning streak when they face off against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.
The biggest factor in the Clippers' newfound success has been the return of health to several of their major players. Those injuries have circled back around in recent weeks, however, presenting a new set of challenges for the Clippers to overcome.
The Hornets, on the other hand, are looking for their second-straight win after blowing out the Utah Jazz by 55 points on Jan. 10.

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is QUESTIONABLE for Monday's game due to a right ankle sprain. This is the third game that Leonard has appeared on the injury report due to his ankle, but up to this point he hasn't missed a game due to the injury.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) remains OUT due to left hamstring injury management. Bogdanovic hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 26 due to the injury and there's currently no clear timeline on when he would be able to return to the court.
