With Blake Griffin out for the season and Chris Paul out indefinitely, the Los Angeles Clippers have tinkered with their starting lineup ahead of Game 5.
Austin Rivers and Jeff Green are listed as the probable starters for Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers.
In four games this postseason, Rivers is averaging 7.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 41.4 percent shooting. Green is averaging 8.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 21.5 minutes.
Entering Wednesday tied 2-2, the Clippers will need healthy contributions from both new starters if they hope to thwart the Blazers' current two-game winning streak.
