2nd in the Western Conference, tied with Golden State, leader, Phoenix remains on 2 consecutive victories and will want to make the pass of 3 tonight to seize the 1st place, while the Warriors move to New Orleans. They will count for this on the poor form of their opponent: the Clippers have indeed won only 3 of their last 10 meetings and remain on a clear defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves (104-122) on the night of Monday to Tuesday.

Phoenix Suns: topicality and form
Phoenix has had a very good season so far: 2nd in the West with 29 wins and 8 losses, the best record in the league, the Suns have notably experienced an extraordinary series of 18 consecutive wins, before slightly easing off. Remaining on 7 victories in 10 games, including 2 in the last 2 games, Phoenix continues to advance at no charge, while keeping an eye on the rearview mirror: the Jazz is indeed only 2 wins away and leads, him too, a hell of a train. Carried by the 3rd best attack in the league with 112.6 points registered on average per game, the Suns are also effective on their side of the floor, they who are the 5th defense of the NBA with 104.9 conceded per game since the start of the season.
Phoenix Suns: players to watch
The Big 3 of Phoenix is still as important: the Suns are indeed led by Devin Booker, at ease this season with 23.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists of average, Chris Paul, eternal and always decisive with 14.1 points and 10.1 assists, and Deandre Ayton, dominating both sides of the field with 11.1 rebounds on average, even though the American hub has only played 24 games this season. The Suns can thus always count on this trio, well supported by promising young people and experienced veterans.
Los Angeles Clippers: topicality and form
The Clippers’ record is very different: only 8th in the Western Conference, the Los Angeles team has recently plummeted, the fault of 7 defeats in the last 10 meetings. Deprived of Paul George since Christmas, but also of Kawhi Leonard since the start of the season, the Clippers are suffering without real leaders and must imperatively go forward tonight to hope to remain in the Top 8, synonymous with the playoffs. This will require doing much better offensively, while with 105.5 points scored on average per game, Los Angeles is only the 24th attack in the league. The Clippers, however, are more comfortable on their side of the floor: with 105.7 points conceded per game this season, Tyronn Lue’s players are the 7th defense in the NBA.
Los Angeles Clippers: players to watch
In the absence of Kawhi Leonard, Paul George embodied the true leader of this Clippers team, although the American player was somewhat disappointed with 24.7 points and 7.1 rebounds on average. Injured for several weeks, he saw Reggie Jackson gradually gain importance, the leader turning 16.9 points and 4.1 assists in 36 games, supported by pivot Ivica Zubac, 9.6 points and 8, 2 rebounds on average. However, we will have to do better to hope to bring down a Suns team that is well established and confident.

The Clippers are decimated by injuries and should logically see Phoenix win in this meeting, while the Suns remain on 2 consecutive wins and are in a much better dynamic. A victory for Los Angeles therefore seems highly improbable in this meeting and Phoenix should win by a comfortable margin.

The two leaders should face each other during this meeting and see them achieve a good performance in all areas of play would be far from a surprise. If Chris Paul seems used to this kind of game, it will be interesting to see how Reggie Jackson behaves in the absence of a number of the team’s mainstays and so this bet could pay off quite well.
