Los Angeles Clippers 2025-26 NBA Betting Lines
When George Allen coached the Washington Redskins, he did so by avoiding rookies at all costs, relying on veterans instead. Known as the “Over the Hill Gang,” Washington won an NFC championship with five playoff campaigns in Allen’s seven seasons. Apparently, somebody in the LA Clippers organization read Allen’s book. For the 2025-26 season, the Clippers will employ the NBA version of the Over the Hill Gang. Over the summer, LA signed big-name veterans in the hope of a championship push. The Clippers are much older now, but gamblers ask if they will be better.
Last year, the Clippers offered more of the same with a good but not great regular season and injury problems with Kawhi Leonard. Speaking of the Over the Hill Gang, Leonard arrived in 2019 as the presumptive savior of the franchise. Instead, Leonard has struggled to stay in the lineup.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
Key additions: Brook Lopez, John Collins, Bradley Beal, Chris Paul, Yanic Konan Niederhauser
Key subtractions: Norman Powell, Drew Eubanks, Patty Mills
The Clippers reshuffled their veterans, drawing Brook Lopez, John Collins, and Bradley Beal from a deck that once included Norman Powell, Drew Eubanks, and Patty Mills. Beal can capably fill Powell's shoes as a scoring guard, while Lopez and Collins further strengthen a frontcourt centered around Ivica Zubac.
They just added Chris Paul, too, which gives them a handful of guys who were better last decade (i.e., Kawhi Leonard and James Harden). They make sense together, or at least head coach Tyronn Lue will ensure they do. They were already a contender to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder's supremacy in the West, and now they are a little deeper and a little more well-rounded, if not a little older.
There are concerns about the Clippers' age after adding veterans Paul (40), Lopez (37), and Beal (32). For the Clippers to land all three armed only with the non-taxpayer midlevel exception, however, is a win. The Clippers bolstered their depth in the short term and added size with a trade for Collins while keeping an eye on cap space possibilities as soon as next summer, with 2027 a more likely target to retool the roster with younger talent.
Key Players
SF Kawhi Leonard is a two-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP, and six-time NBA All-Star. This past season, Leonard averaged 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.
G James Harden is an 11-time NBA All-Star, including this past season. He is a 3-time NBA scoring champion. This past season, Harden led the Clippers with 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game.
C Ivica Zubac added 16.8 points and 12.6 rebounds per game this past season, which was the best of his career. Zubac was named to the 2025 NBA All-Defensive second team. He began his career with the crosstown rival Los Angeles Lakers and has been with the Clippers since 2019.
Head Coach
Tyronn Lue has been the head coach of the Clippers since 2020. He is best known as the head coach of the 2016 NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers.

Los Angeles Clippers History
In their 50+ years as an NBA franchise, the most that the Los Angeles Clippers have done is go to a conference championship. Even that was extremely recent, though, as the Clippers made their first trip to the conference finals in 2021. The Phoenix Suns defeated them in a six-game series, but that hasn’t deterred Steve Ballmer from trying to turn this moribund franchise into a winner.
The Los Angeles Clippers were originally known as the Buffalo Braves. They were founded as an expansion franchise in 1970, and they selected Bob McAdoo as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1972 NBA Draft. McAdoo was the first star in franchise history, and he was the NBA MVP in 1975, but the team was gutted after it became clear the franchise could never work in Buffalo. That led to an owner swap, and new owner Irv Levin moved the Braves to San Diego in 1978.
The San Diego Clippers were the third pro basketball franchise in San Diego since the mid-1960s. The San Diego Rockets moved to Houston, and the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors folded after just a few years in the city. The Clippers were the last chance the city had at proving the NBA would work there, but they failed to make the playoffs in any of their six seasons in San Diego and subsequently moved to Los Angeles in 1984. There, they would continue a 15-year postseason drought until finally making the playoffs in 1992.
Former owner Donald Sterling went down as one of the worst owners in the history of professional sports. Sterling owned the team from 1981 to 2014, when he was banned from the league for life and forced to sell the franchise. The Clippers only made the playoffs four times between 1976 and 2011, winning just one playoff series in that stretch.
Steve Ballmer has immediately done everything in his power to make the Clippers a contender. They have now finished with a winning record for 12 straight seasons, and Ballmer brought in Kawhi Leonard to hopefully win a title.
