The Clippers (42-31, 6th in West) face a tough road to the 2025 NBA title. Their 5-game win streak is promising, but a likely 1st-round matchup vs. the Timberwolves (53-22) and strong teams like the Thunder and Nuggets make a championship run unlikely. Despite Harden and Leonard's efforts, the West's depth suggests they won’t go all the way.
