The Lab Clippers at Suns: take the road dog
Clippers at Suns: take the road dog
The Clippers enter with 1 day off while Phoenix returns on no rest for its third game in four nights.
Down 4.7 units going into this slate. The number is ugly. I own it.
Price first. The LA Clippers are getting +142 at FanDuel while Phoenix is laying 3.5 points at home. That gap asks the Suns to look sturdier than their recent work and their schedule do. I will take the dog that gets a night off while the favorite returns immediately after a home loss.
LA Clippers at Phoenix Suns
LA Clippers +142 at FanDuel is the number I will take. Phoenix is on the second night of a back-to-back and in its third game in four nights after losing 96-122 to San Antonio Spurs. The Suns enter with a 2-3 last five and a 3-6 regular-season record. The Clippers have only a 2-7 regular-season record, so this is not a sermon about form. It is a price play against a favorite carrying the harder spot. The Clippers had 1 day off and just scored 139 against New Orleans Pelicans. I am on the Clippers to win outright.
What beats it: Phoenix’s home floor, plus the Clippers’ 1-4 recent run, can make the Suns’ schedule irrelevant.
The case is not airtight. Phoenix has been better at home lately, but the price gives me enough room to back the road side.
