The Suns are entering this game with a 28-33 record overall this season and they are 17-13 in their home games this season where they will be in this game.

The current betting odds have the Clippers listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Clippers have looked good in their games this season with their 32-28 record overall which has them in the top half of the West and in a playoff spot. They have the same record as the Warriors who are in the first play-in spot though so the Clippers are by no means safe and need to keep climbing the West. They haven't been a great road team this year with their 13-18 road record. Meanwhile, the Suns haven't looked good in their games this season with their 28-33 record overall which has them in the bottom half of the West and in the first spot outside of the play-in tournament. They have looked better on their home court this year with their 17-13 home record, but they have looked terrible in their games lately. They can still work their way into a play-in spot, but they are coming off a bad double digit loss to the Timberwolves in their last one and they have looked terrible with their 2-8 record in their last 10 games. They can't really afford to lose anymore games since they need to get over .500 to even have a chance at the playoffs, but they have continued to lose games over the last 2 weeks and to really bad teams in the league too. The Clippers haven't been that great lately as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games and just lost 2 games in a row to the Lakers, but they are still in a better situation than the Suns. The Clippers also need to get going though as they are in jeopardy of losing their playoff spot. Kawhi Leonard has returned to the lineup and even though they haven't looked that much better in the games he has played, it is only a matter of time until the team gets back into a groove with him. As bad as the Clippers have been lately, the Suns have been much worse so this is a good game for the Clippers to step up in and get a much needed win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Clippers to cover the spread in this game.
