The Los Angeles Clippers are in Portland tonight to play the Trail Blazers, in just their second game this season on TNT. Eric Gordon, who tore a tendon in his right index finger last night, is in the lineup tonight. The tipoff is being delayed, as TNT waits for its first game -- Mavericks at Bulls -- to end. Here are tonight's starting lineups:
Clippers (16-25)
- Point Guard: Baron Davis

The Clippers have won 11 of their last 15 games, in a stretch fueled mostly by their improved offense. However, they have lost four straight games in Portland, with their last win coming in double overtime, 117-109, on December 12, 2008.
