Prediction
Clippers 119, Suns 106
Moneyline (ML)
The CLIPPERS (-278) are relatively big road moneyline favorites over the Suns (+220) Wednesday night. While the Suns have played better of late, winning three of their previous four games, the Clippers are easily the most talented team they’ve faced in a while, and without Oubre, this one could get ugly in Pheonix. It’s also notable the Clippers have won 13 of their last 14 games against the Suns. Take the Clippers to win outright.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS (-6.5, -110) are more than two-basket favorites over the Suns in Pheonix. Los Angeles has actually struggled against the spread of late, going just 2-4 in its last six games. They are finally fully healthy and have one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the NBA. With a full unit on hand, expect them to score at will against Pheonix and cover the 6.5-point spread with ease.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 231.5 points, which feels too high considering the defensive talent the Clippers have on their end of the court. Their length and ability to switch from 1-5 makes them incredibly tough on defense when everyone is healthy. This game should be somewhat high-scoring, but take the UNDER 231.5 (-115) as the Clippers should be able to hold the Suns to fewer than 110 points.
