Sadly, in this series the Clippers have been plagued with injuries. Paul George has not comeback to play in any of these games. Plus, Kawhi Leonard has missed some games due to a knee injury. They are missing their two superstars. This is why they find themselves down 3-1 in the series. Los Angeles must find a way to stay alive long enough to get these two back on the court. It will be a tough task though as they have to win this game on the road.
The Clippers have been led by Kawhi Leonard, who leads the team in points. Leonard is averaging 34.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists a game this series. Without Paul George he has stepped up this postseason. Leonard is fighting an injury also as he is doubtful for game 5.

In their loss against the Suns in gam 4, Westbrook stepped up with Leonard out as he finished with 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Powell struggled from the floor shooting 4-15, but still managed to put up 14 points. They just did not get enough scoring from anyone else. Plus, defensively you could tell that they missed Leonard out there. They need him back for game 5. In the loss, the Clippers shot 43.5% from the floor and 32.4% from the three-point line.

Clippers vs. Suns Prediction
I love this prop for this game. I think the Suns are going to win this game in dominant fashion. Kevin Durant will have a huge game for the Suns. I think he will have a double-double or triple-double game in this game. If he does it will be from points and rebounds definitely not assists. Go and cash this bet right now and watch Durant have a monster game int his one and get 8+ rebounds.
Clippers vs. Suns Prop Pick: Kevin Durant over 7.5 rebounds (-111).
