CLIPPERS VS SUNS GAME 2 PREVIEW
Clippers vs Suns Game 2 Preview
Tonight we get another exciting NBA matchup for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, as the Clippers are set to face off against the Phoenix Suns in Arizona. We’re here to present The Suns were able to edge out the last game following a dominating performance by Devin Booker in which he was able to secure both a triple-double and the victory.
Tyron Lue’s Clippers squad, respectfully, played a very good game, and they have a chance to turn the tide in game 2, so there are no firm Suns vs Clipper’s series predictions. Will the Suns be able to pull off yet another victory at home, or will the Clippers be able to overcome the odds and even the series? Here are our Clippers vs Suns expert picks.
Offensive Regression
Suns vs Clippers 2021 games have resulted in the Clippers having a 2-1 advantage. All three of these games did not hit a total of over 219. Both the Clippers and Suns have solid offensive weapons, and they have flexed their guns in the first game, but this game should be more intense and more defensive-minded. Sharps are leaning with the under in this scenario, so let’s break down why. The Suns are one of the better defensive teams in the league, with guys like Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges playing opposing players extremely well.
Meanwhile, guys like Reggie Jackson and Terrance Mann have been working their buts off for Clippers to get stops on their own side of the court. With Chris Paul most likely out, there should be fewer points and should have a slower pace. For this reason, we’re taking the total under 224.5 in the Clippers vs Suns picks and parlays, as Game 1 was just a spontaneous offensive explosion.
Playoff P Is No More
Paul George, through the course of some painful playoff losses over the years, has become known as Playoff P. The nickname mocks him as he has underperformed in the playoffs in previous years, but the reality is that Paul George is back, and he’s on a mission. Since Kawhi’s injury in Game 4, George has posted 37, 28, and 34 and has been a solid passer and rebounder for the club as well. I think with a lot on the line tonight, as Paul George steps up the plate yet again. George has been scoring consistently but hasn’t quite had the efficiency he’s wanted so far. That will increase in this game.
Reggie Jackson and Terrance Mann have been steady contributors in the Clippers’ starting lineup, and while they both struggled in their coverage of Booker last game, it is unlikely he has another 40-point triple-double performance in this game. That’s why the Los Angeles Clippers Moneyline and under of 224.5 will be our official Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction.
Today’s Pick
NBA playoff odds have the Clippers series winner line at +340 for the Clippers. While I think the Clippers pulling this off is rather impossible with Paul returning eventually, I believe the Clippers can take a low-scoring game in Phoenix tonight. Clippers vs Suns NBA odds have the Clippers as (+180) underdogs while the Suns come in as (-220) favorites. I believe the Clippers win at least one game this series, and that would likely be against a Suns squad without Paul. With Paul likely returning Game 3 or 4, the window is closing, and now is the time to jump.
Clippers vs Suns Picks: Los Angeles
Clippers ML (+180) & Under 224.5 (-110)
