Suns vs. Clippers Game Info

Phoenix Suns (36-14, 17-6 Away) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (34-18, 19-8 Home)
Date: Thursday, April 8, 2021
Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: STAPLES Center — Los Angeles, Calif.
Coverage: TNT

The Suns are playing on the second leg of a back-to-back. If that wasn’t enough, they were pushing to the limit last night, pulling out the 4-point victory over the Jazz in overtime. It could lead to some tired legs tonight, or possibly players sitting out for rest. Devin Booker led the Suns with a team-high 35 points last night, bringing his average since the All-Star Break to 28.5 points. Tonight Awesemo is projecting Booker to lead the team in scoring yet again. We will see if Chris Paul plays tonight, following 43 minutes last game. He was one assist shy of a double-double last night, and Awesemo is projecting him for only eight assists tonight.

The Clippers enter this game on the first leg of a back-to-back. Since tomorrow’s game is against the Rockets, tonight’s matchup holds more importance. For that reason, no one should be resting on the Clippers’ side. However, Serge Ibaka remains out with a back injury. Paul George led the Clippers in scoring last game, with 36. However, Awesemo is projecting Kawhi Leonard to lead the team in scoring tonight, with about 26 points. The Clippers scored a 5-point road victory in their first matchup against the Suns.

Suns vs. Clippers Prediction

All trends point to the Suns tonight. They are 5-0 against the spread as a road dog, 6-2 against the spread with a rest disadvantage and 21-9 against the spread in conference games. However, they really were pushed last night, and that takes a toll. Not only was it a competitive overtime game against a Western Conference team, Phoenix had to hop on a plane afterwards. The Clippers should win straight up, but the spread is the biggest question. Unlike a typical day, recently, the preferred play is to wait until later in the day and odds shop.

If Chris Paul plays without a minute limit, I think the Suns will cover. However, as of now, I will side with the Clippers and go against the trends.

Prediction: Clippers -6
