NBA.com predicts Suns will win the series in 7 games. Michael C. Wright praises coach Monty Williams and his team. He believes the Suns are a deeper team than LA. The Clippers showcased incredible fight despite being overmatched at times in the conference semis.

Chris Paul's availability is in doubt for this series. Paul is a key reason why Phoenix has assisted on 61.3% of its baskets in the postseason. Devin Booker's elite shot-making and Ayton's success inside have remained consistent even when Paul was less than 100%. L.A. doesn't have an answer for Devin, and with Leonard sidelined indefinitely, the task of stopping Booker likely falls to George.
