Bruno Silva Unable to Keep His Streak Going

Florida Panthers forward Joe Thornton (undisclosed) is expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday against San Jose. The former Shark hasn't played since Jan. 31.

LA Clippers point/shooting guards Terance Mann and Luke Kennard will both be among the team's starting five for Monday's contest against Cleveland.
