Clippers vs Suns Best Bet: Suns ML +130
As of late, it’s been difficult to put any faith in the Suns on game day, especially as the team stays in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. However, in Phoenix’s rare successes this season, they have seemingly put it together when they head into battle against the Clippers, as they currently lead the season series 3-0. With the Suns likely playing with a bit more desperation than LA, I’ll take the odds that Mike Budenholzer’s squad can protect their home court.
Clippers vs Suns Best Total Bet: Over 225
There’s no denying that both squads have some of the best scorers in the NBA on their rosters, which gives me confidence in taking the over. Considering two of their three games this season have exceeded the 225-point set total, I’ll take the odds that this game could come down to the wire in a back-and-forth offensive battle. A final score of 121-116 seems like a realistic outcome.
Clippers Best Player Bet: Kawhi Leonard Over 9.5 Reb + Ast +108
Kawhi Leonard has always quietly impacted the game in more ways than one. The versatile forward is a monster on the glass when needed, and his underrated ability as a passer opens up the offense for the Clippers. Whether it’s with ten rebounds like he had last game or a solid performance as a rebounder and passer, there are multiple avenues to Leonard hitting the over on this prop. With 10+ rebounds and assists in two of the last three games, I’ll take the chance that the Clippers star can deliver again.
Suns Best Player Bet: Kevin Durant Over 2.5 Threes Made +104
Kevin Durant enters this matchup, averaging 26.7 points per game as he continues to be aggressive on the offensive side of the court for the Suns. The veteran has emphasized getting more shots up beyond the arc this season, and it’s been one of the biggest reasons for him being the leading scorer for Phoenix at 36 years old. Not to mention, Durant has finished with 3+ threes in two of the last three games and five of his previous seven.
