Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Odds

The Los Angeles Clippers (43-38 SU, 40-41 ATS) are 2-4 SU in their last six games against the Phoenix Suns (45-36 SU, 41-38-2 ATS). The Clippers will be looking to lock in the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference standings with a win against the Suns this Sunday afternoon in Phoenix.

If Los Angeles wins this game, these two teams will meet in the first round of the NBA playoffs. While the Suns have nothing to play for on Sunday with their position in the standings already set at No. 4 in the Western Conference, the Clippers will be trying to win to avoid potentially falling into the play-in bracket. The UNDER is 6-1 in Phoenix's last seven games against Los Angeles.

Latest Betting Notes: Clippers

The Clippers picked up the win but failed to cover the spread as a 17-point favorite in a 136-125 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday. Kawhi Leonard led the team in scoring with 27 points while Norman Powell chipped in 23 points and five assists in 27 minutes off of the bench. The OVER is now 7-1 in the Clippers' last eight games.

Los Angeles enters Sunday's action with the same record as the Golden State Warriors at 43-38 SU and one game ahead of both the Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans. The Clippers are 4-2 SU and 3-4 ATS over their last six games.

Latest Betting Notes: Suns

With the fourth seed in the Western Conference already locked up, the Suns rested all of their starters on Friday in a 121-107 loss on the road to the Los Angeles Lakers. Torrey Craig was the Suns' leading scorer with 18 points and Jock Landale finished with a double-double recording 17 points and 10 rebounds. Kevin Durant, Deandre Ayton, Devon Booker and Chris Paul all sat out on Friday and are set to rest again Sunday.

Phoenix went 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS down the stretch before resting everyone against the Lakers. The Suns are 2-9 SU and 4-7 ATS in their last 11 games as a double-digit underdog heading into this regular season finale.

The Keys to Victory: Clippers

The Clippers will mostly be at full strength on Sunday with the exception of Paul George being out with the same knee injury that has kept him out of the lineup since March 21. Barring a total collapse, winning this game outright shouldn't be too big of an issue facing this heavily depleted Suns squad.

To cover this large spread, Los Angeles is going to need to step up on defense. The Clippers have allowed 121 points per game over a 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS run over their last five games. They may need to play better than this to pull away with a blowout win on the road.

The Keys to Victory: Suns

The Suns actually played a competitive first half against the Lakers on Friday, leading by one heading into halftime despite having all of their starters out of action. The Lakers eventually pulled away to win the game by 14, but that loss came on the road. Perhaps at home this group can keep things competitive for longer than just one half.

Phoenix backers will be hoping that the lack of pressure on the Suns in this one works to the home underdog's advantage. There is also the potential for a backdoor cover here as the Clippers would likely be happy to pull their starters on the second night of a back-to-back as soon as they got a comfortable lead.
