Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Clippers Prediction
It doesn’t look like the Suns are going to have the face all the Clippers starters on Wednesday night. Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden have already been ruled out. Russ and Zubac are game time decisions for Wednesday night’s rematch against the Suns. It’s already going to be tough beating Kevin Durant and the Suns two nights in a row. The Clippers are going to be attempting this without some of their best players…
The Suns still have plenty to play for, as they are still trying to avoid the play-in tournament. They are currently a few games back of the Pelicans and Mavericks. Phoenix doesn’t have the luxury right now to rest their star players. I’m expecting a big performance from the Suns’ big three on Wednesday night after a disappointing loss at home last night.
This spread has been moving towards the Suns all day. They initially opened up 1-point favorites before the injury news. The Suns are currently laying 8.5 points on the spread at the time of writing this article. I typically don’t like buying bad news and fading teams without their starters, but tonight’s matchup is different. These teams literally played last night, and before the series I figured these two Western Conference powerhouses would split the series.
The Clippers are making the Suns’ job a lot easier tonight with three of their best players sitting out. It seems to me like the Clippers are content splitting this series, with only a handful of games left in the regular season. It’s as important to handicap motivation at this point of the NBA season as it is to handicap talent. Expect the Suns to come out with much more energy than the Clippers tonight after losing by double-digits to the same team on their home floor.
Grab the Suns on the spread before the number gets any larger. This healthy Suns team is too talented to lose back-to-back games to the banged-up Clippers. They win this game by 10+ points.
