Clippers at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 112, Clippers 107
Moneyline
The SUNS (-110) is who I’m siding with in this matchup with them playing at home. Phoenix is 20-9 at home and G Devin Booker is expected to play.
Against the spread
SUNS +1.5 (-120) is the lean if you want a single point of insurance on the home side. Phoenix is 14-9 ATS as a home favorite this season.
The Clippers are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings against the Suns.
Over/Under
We’ve seen some low-scoring games between the Clippers and the Suns, which makes UNDER 223.5 (-108) the ideal choice. There have been fewer than 224 points scored in 6 straight meetings.
The Clippers are 5-0 to the Under in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and the Suns are 5-1 to the Under in their last 6 games overall.
