? Jamal Crawford will come off the bench for the Clippers when they host the Pistons tonight at Staples Center. Crawford, who is tied with Chris Paul as the team's second-leading scorers (18.7), missed the last five games and eight of the last nine with a left calf strain. After missing the first three games, he attempted to come back March 8 against the visiting Hawks but lasted just 10 minutes before deciding he needed more time to recover. He originally suffered the injury Feb. 26 against the Rockets, meaning he hasn't played a full game in nearly four weeks. Darren Collison is also set to return to the starting lineup after missing the last two games with a stomach ailment. J.J. Redick returned to practice this week but his comeback from a bulging disc in his lower back is still uncertain.
