The Phoenix Suns had a two-game run snuffed out by the mighty Spurs but have a chance to salvage those winning ways against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Phoenix, a short 3.5-point favorite inside Mortgage Matchup Center tonight, will turn to its defense and plodding pace to set the tone vs. L.A.
My Clippers vs. Suns prediction weighs this Western Conference clash, giving my best NBA picks for Tuesday, Nov. 10.
TOP PICK
Clippers vs Suns prediction: Under 224.5
The Phoenix Suns’ 3-6 start involved facing some of the NBA's most potent point producers, including Golden State and Portland (both twice), plus that recent run-in with San Antonio. That's skewed the Suns' defensive metrics.
The Los Angeles Clippers aren’t as dangerous with the ball.
Los Angeles ranks 21st in offensive rating, and scoring dries up on the road. The Clippers average the sixth-fewest points as visitors, with an 8.4-point dip in scoring away from home.
Phoenix runs one of the slower pace ratings in the land and will put L.A. and its inconsistent stars in sand, not allowing its guard-heavy lineup to push tempo.
I like the Under 224.5 points and would play this side of the total at a number of 221.5 or higher.
COVERS INTEL: The Suns not only run a slower pace, but they put the brakes on transition attacks (seventh-fewest points per play) at an elite rate. The Clippers rank 11th in pace rating and have scored 23% of their buckets in transition.
Clippers vs Suns combo
The Suns have given up points to some high-flying offenses, but the Clippers aren't in that same vein. Phoenix's plodding pace sticks this game in the mud.
Max Strus continues his active play off the bench, with projections as high as five rebounds. Devin Booker finally cashes in on his potential assists, dishing out more than five dimes with a ceiling of seven helpers.
Clippers vs Suns combo
- Under 224.5
- Max Strus Over 3.5 rebounds
- Devin Booker Over 4.5 assists
Clippers vs Suns player props
Clippers player prop: Max Strus Over 3.5 rebounds
Strus has been busy in his three games back from a foot injury.
He’s averaged nine points in those contests but also wrangled rebounding totals of four, four and five boards.
Strus has generated 7.3 rebounding chances over that trio of outings, and there could be boards up for grabs as the Clips venture to the desert. Phoenix ranks near the bottom of the NBA in several rebounding metrics.
Player projections for Strus range from 3.2 to 4.9, with the majority of models sitting at 4.5 rebounds or higher. My number comes out to 4.4 boards from the Clippers guard.
Suns player prop: Devin Booker Over 4.5 assists
Booker has had to shoulder the scoring load with Phoenix playing from behind in matchups with high-power opponents. However, he doesn’t have to be a score-first option against Los Angeles.
Booker has upped his potential assists over the past three games, generating 9.0 possible dimes versus a passing metric of only 7.3 in his first six showings of the season. That’s produced assist totals of three, four, and eight.
He’s topped his assist Over/Under just three times to start the season, yet today’s forecasts are very bullish on Booker’s passing prowess. All models consulted sit north of 4.5 dimes with a ceiling as high as 6.6 assists.
My number comes out to 5.8 helpers against the Clips tonight.
