The Clippers have won 2 of 3 games facing the Suns this season including the last 2.
The Clippers are hot, but a couple of their 2 big scorers in Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford are questionable for tonight’s game.
This game should be a high scoring one, as the Clippers have the highest scoring team in the league and the Suns rank 7th in points per game.
Even with Griffin and Crawford out of the last game against the Timberwolves the Clippers had all 5 starters score in double figures and G Darren Collison went for 28 points.
[ad-6571516]
The Suns will face the Clippers and their 14th ranked defense and in facing a weak Lakers’ defense Phoenix only shot 38.5% from the floor, which was their 5th worst output of the season.
The Suns have 5 players averaging in double figures led by Goran Dragic, who has averaged 21 ppg facing the Clippers.
Both teams are pretty even in terms of boards per game, but it is key that the Suns keep DeAndre Jordan, who leads the league in rebounds per game and pulled down a season high 24 rebounds in the win over Minnesota, from dominating the glass.
The Suns have a tough road to make the playoffs, as in 3 of their next 4 games they face the Blazers, Thunder, and Spurs.
Betting Trends
The Clippers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 road games, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 11-4-1 in their last 16 games.
The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Under record of 4-0 in their last 4 games.
The Suns are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against the Clippers.
Jason’s Pick:
The Clippers are playing well, but have to go with the Suns in this one, as they are at home and desperate for a win. On top of that I think Griffin will not play in this game to get rested for the playoffs.
