When and where can you catch this exciting NBA game? Here is information about the list of broadcasters.
The Suns need to do better
The Suns come into this match-up after a 10-point victory over the Washington Wizards as Kevin Durant put up 29 points. They have won two in a row, and have a 8-3 record in the last 11 games. While these returns are decent, they are mostly against teams that have lost their way. The squad has been struggling against elite teams which is a major reason they are struggling to enter the top-six standings in the West. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker have been stellar while Bradley Beal has elevated his play too, but the Suns have some tough decisions to make before the trade deadline. Will Beal remain with the team after the deadline?
The Clippers are hanging on
The Clippers enter the contest after a 10-point win against the Milwaukee Bucks as James Harden exploded for 40 points. They have won two in a row but have a 6-5 record this month. While they have been stellar at home, they have been a shell of themselves on the road. Norman Powell and James Harden have kept the offense floating amidst Kawhi Leonard’s injuries while Ivica Zubac’s terrific double-double contributions can’t be emphasized enough. Apart from that, their defense has been magnificent as they have conceded 106.8 points per game(3rd best).

Key stats:
The Suns have been doing a much better job of holding fort lately and the same can be said about the Clippers. However, Harden and Co. have not been at their best away from home and that can play a decisive role here. The duo of Durant and Booker can combine for 60+ points and bury the Clippers’ defense here. The total can go over 230 points.

nba Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
