Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Game Preview
Tuesday night's Clippers vs Suns matchup is one of the games of the night in the NBA. While these teams are both in the top-six in the Western Conference standings heading down the final stretch of the regular season, nothing has been decided for either of them just yet. They could both end up seeded anywhere from fourth to sixth, with the potential for the Suns to drop even lower into the play-in tournament. That makes this game a big one for both sides and makes it must-watch television for basketball fans.
In this game, we project the Phoenix Suns to get a win and cover the spread on their home floor. The Suns are coming off of a loss, but they have won seven of their last 10 games and enter this matchup with a 25-15 home record for the 2023-24 NBA season. There is also the fact that the Suns have more to play for going into this game, as they are looking to remain in the top-six in the Western Conference standings, hanging onto the sixth spot by a thread entering Tuesday's play.
Injuries will play a key role in this game, as Kawhi Leonard is set to miss this contest due to a knee ailment. That will make things easier for the perimeter scorers of the Suns to get going and will make things tougher for the Clippers in late clock situations on offense. Look for the Suns to take advantage of Leonard's absence en route to a win in Phoenix tonight.
Final Score Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers 108.43 vs Phoenix Suns 117.21
