The Phoenix Suns are coming off a 98-116 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They are currently in a slump, having lost four of their last five games, despite all players being available. This downturn is primarily attributed to a lack of defensive effort, characterized by conceded easy layups, a lack of hustle on defense, and allowing extra possessions to opponents. In their last five outings, the Suns have conceded an average of 125.2 points per game while scoring 119.2 points per game.
Phoenix Suns Probable Starting Lineup – Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Bol Bol, Kevin Durant, Nick Richards
The Los Angeles Clippers enter this game following a 108-102 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks their third loss in the last four games, during which they have struggled to close out games. Their three-point shooting has experienced a significant dip, with their efficiency falling below 30% in three of the last five games. Norman Powell’s absence has been a major setback for the Clippers. He returned to the lineup in the last game but played only 9 minutes before sustaining a right hamstring injury. Powell, Ben Simmons, and Derrick Jones Jr. are ruled out for this game. Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is averaging 10.6 points since joining Los Angeles Clippers, will start, and Amir Coffey will continue to receive additional minutes off the bench.
Los Angeles Clippers Probable Starting Lineup – James Harden, Kris Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac

The Suns are averaging 117.3 ppg against the Clippers this season and in their last five home games the Suns scored over 112 points in three of the six games. While they average 119.2 in their last five games. We back the Suns to have another good outing and score over 112.5 points.
Kevin Durant Total Points Over 25.5
Durant is averaging 22.4 ppg in his last five outings, where he scored over 25 points three times. While he scores most of his points from beyond the arc and mid-range, Durant is likely to grab less rebounds. We predict Kevin Durant’s total points to be over 24 and his total rebounds under 5.5.
This is the fourth matchup between the Suns and Clippers this season. The Suns have a 3-0 record against the Clippers, with each of their previous victories decided by six points or fewer. Given the Clippers’ lack of depth for this game, the Suns are favored to win.
