Suns at Clippers picks and predictionsPrediction
Clippers 119, Suns 112
The Suns have won 3 of their last 4 games but do not have a road win yet, and they have allowed an average of 129.5 points per game in those contests.
The Clippers have lost 3 straight games but are 3-2 at home and beat the Suns by 27 at home Oct. 24.
Until the Suns show they can win on the road, I don’t like their chances, even if the Clippers don’t have Leonard, but the moneyline at -210 for the Clippers is not the best value.
PASS.
The Clippers are 1-7 ATS and the only game in which they have an ATS win was over the Suns at home. In both meetings, the favorite won and covered.
The Suns have covered the spread in only 1 loss this season.
BET CLIPPERS -5.5 (-115).
Three of the Clippers’ last 4 games have cleared 227 total points. Three of the Suns’ 5 losses have had more than 227 total points.
Five of the last 7 meetings have had more than 227 total points.
BET OVER 227.5 (-105).
