If an ensemble cast without a star is a bad bet, there’s a strata just under the elite players who have never been All-Stars and may never be but quietly develop into some of the NBA’s best players. A current list would include Orlando’s Nikola Vucevic, Memphis’ Mike Conley, Portland’s C.J. McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic, Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams… and half the Clipper rotation. –Harris, a 20-point scorer since finally becoming someone’s No. 1 option. –Gallinari, averaging 19.1. –Williams, two-time Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 18,0 despite a slow start (shooting 39% compared to his career 42%). –Harrell, a comer in the era when someone his size—6-7 1/2 in stocking feet—can play center, with a ferocity that makes him the Patrick Beverly of the bigs.

Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris scored 26 points each and the Clippers rallied in the fourth quarter for a 108-92 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night. “They just want to win and they’re over themselves,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. The Thunder fell to 0-2 without Russell Westbrook, who has a right knee issue. “He’s missed everywhere,” said guard Raymond Felton, who had 10 points off the bench.
