Two teams currently residing inside the West’s play-in picture collide tonight, when the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Phoenix Suns.
With both sides ranked inside the Top 9 in scoring defense, the books might have gone a little conservative, which is why my Clippers vs. Suns predictions and NBA picks are targeting the Over.
Clippers vs Suns prediction
Clippers vs Suns best bet: Over 214 (-110)
The Phoenix Suns are trying to put the finishing touches on a five-game homestand with a fourth straight win, doing so without star Devin Booker, who will be out again on Sunday,
The Los Angeles Clippers hope to wrap their three-game road trip on a positive note, after getting crushed 122-109 in Denver. Unfortunately, they were the opponent that had to take on Nikola Jokic’s return.
Still, that’s just the fourth loss in the last 20 games for L.A., who have climbed into 10th in the West, still a distant seven games back of the seventh-seeded Suns.
Phoenix has owned this head-to-head, ripping off wins in seven of the last eight, but with Booker out and L.A. looking to bounce back, it’s hard to pick them to win outright. Instead, I’m going to target the Over, which sits at a very gettable 214.
While the Under has cashed in each of the last two meetings, L.A. and Phoenix have combined to score 215+ points in eight straight head-to-head matchups.

Clippers vs Suns same-game parlay
Dillon Brooks is coming off a 27-point effort in the win against Cleveland, and he’s scored 26+ points in each of the last four games, all without Booker. I think Brooks falls Under the total as he’ll have his hands full guarding Kawhi and James Harden.
Speaking of Harden, he’s a big-time dealer against the Suns. In eight career games against Phoenix while a member of the Clippers, Harden has recorded 10+ assists in six of them.
Clippers vs Suns SGP
- Over 214
- Dillon Brooks Under 23.5 points
- James Harden Over 8.5 assists
Our "from downtown" SGP: Gillespie makes it rain!
Kawhi Leonard averaged 27.5 points in January, though he's scored 21 points in back-to-back games, his lowest outputs all month. I’ll take the Over simply because of his scoring prowess against the Suns: he’s scored 24+ points five times in the last eight meetings.
Collin Gillespie has been lighting it up from downtown, going a combined 9-for-17 in wins against the Cavs and Pistons, topping Sunday’s 3.5-make line on both occasions. He’s hit 4+ triples in three of six games but missed topping the total by a single make in each of those other three games.
