Clippers vs. Suns Prediction
I love this prop so much. This is my favorite one by far. I think Chris Paul record a double-double in points and assists. Paul has been great all season finding his teammates for easy buckets. All he needs to is score 10 or more points. Which against the Clippers guards can happen. Paul has the experience and has deadly scorers around him. Lock this prop in and watch your bet cash!
Clippers vs. Suns Prop Pick: Chris Paul to record a Double Double (+139).
