Suns vs Clippers Betting Odds & Prediction: LA Building Toward Playoff Run

The Los Angeles Clippers (39-40 SU, 38-40-1 ATS) are 3-1 SU and ATS since Paul George returned from an elbow injury that sidelined him for three months. With a spot in the play-in tournament already locked up, the Clippers look to continue that form when they host the league-leading Phoenix Suns (63-16, 42-37) on Wednesday night.

Suns vs Clippers Odds & Analysis

Sportsbook Odds 

Phoenix’s lack of motivation in this spot was reflected in the Sportsbook point spread as oddsmakers made the Suns just 3-point favorites, down from the 12-point chalk they were when they hosted the Clippers in mid-February. Early Suns vs Clippers predictions have still been heavily on LA, moving the Suns down to 1-point favorites by this morning. The UNDER has also seen strong support, dropping the total to 226 at most betting sites.

League-Leading Suns Letting Their Foot Off The Gas As Playoffs Approach

Phoenix set a new franchise record last night with its 63rd victory of the season, downing the Lakers 121-110 in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. The Suns led by as many as 19 points midway through the third quarter but decided to sit Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul for the entirety of the fourth.

LA outscored the Suns 30-23 in the final session to sneak inside the 12.5-point spread, dropping Phoenix to 0-4 ATS in its last four games. Coming off last night’s record-setting win and with nothing to gain in the standings, the Suns look like a dangerous team to back tonight in your Clippers vs Suns predictions, even with this short spread.

Clippers Locked Into Play-In Spot But Could Be Motivated To Maintain Momentum

With three games to go in their regular-season schedule, the Clippers are already guaranteed an eighth-place finish in the West and a berth in the play-in tournament. That could cause coach Ty Lue to be conservative with the minutes he gives top players like George down the stretch, so it might be wise to wait for any last-minute Clippers scratches before making your Suns vs Clippers prediction for tonight.

If Los Angeles does decide to give George and other regulars their usual minutes, the Clippers have the potential to be a dangerous underdog. LA is 3-1 SU and ATS since George returned from injury, with the lone loss coming in overtime at Chicago. The Clippers offense has been lethal during that span, scoring at least 119 points in each of those games.

Suns vs Clippers Pick & Insights

Suns: Keys To Cover

Phoenix may not be covering point spreads lately but the Suns are still winning games consistently, going 10-2 SU in their last 12. They’re also 7-2 SU and ATS in their last nine games when favored by less than 3 points or as an underdog.

Clippers: Keys To Cover

Los Angeles appears motivated to build momentum as the postseason approaches, and there’d be no greater statement than a victory over the top-ranked Suns. The Clippers offense could enjoy another big night against a Phoenix defense that hasn’t been up to its usual standards lately, giving up at least 110 points in six of its last eight.
