Suns vs Clippers prediction

Suns vs Clippers best bet: Suns +5 (-110)

These teams clashed on Thursday, with the Phoenix Suns winning 115-102 at home to easily cover as 2.5-point faves. That was the third win in four games for the Suns, but they're still looking for their first road win of the year.

Jalen Green, who had been sidelined by a hamstring injury, made his team debut and showed no signs of rust by dropping 29 points in 23 minutes, looking great next to Devin Booker in the Phoenix backcourt.

The Los Angeles Clippers are on a three-game losing streak and have gone just 1-7 ATS this season.  They were missing superstar forward Kawhi Leonard and James Harden on Thursday. Harden will return to the lineup today, but the oft-injured Leonard has been ruled out again.

L.A. center Ivica Zubac can roll to the basket and score on putbacks, but nobody outside of Harden can create their own shot. Bradley Beal is washed up and, despite a higher-usage rate with Harden and Leonard absent, scored just five points on 2-for-14 shooting. 

The Clippers are 26th in defensive rating while ranking 21st in offensive rating. And that's with Leonard in the lineup for six of eight games. Without their best player, they're a Bottom-5 team that shouldn't be laying this many points.

Suns vs Clippers same-game parlay

Green went 6-for-13 from deep in his Phoenix debut, and while he likely won't be as efficient again, he will get more playing time in his second game back from injury.

Zubac had 23 points on a season-high 14 field-goal attempts against Phoenix on Thursday. The Suns have a soft interior defense, and Zubac should get plenty of shots with Kawhi sidelined again.

Our "from downtown" SGP: Pest mode activated

Dillon Brooks has been upgraded to questionable after missing the last six games with a core muscle strain. The Suns' defensive ace has averaged 3.4 steals + blocks per game, and if he suits up, Phoenix has an even better chance of covering tonight.
