The Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers Game Preview!
Hey there! So, the NBA season kicked off with a bang, and guess what? The Lakers nailed it with a win! Our article pick was on point, if you took the pick, it paid off. Now, we're all set to keep the good times rolling! Today, we've got the Phoenix Suns facing off against the LA Clippers at the Intuit Dome. Check out our prediction for the Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers showdown in this article. We'll also share our pick for the game.
The Phoenix Suns Team Preview!
So, the Suns are up against the Lakers, Mavericks, and Blazers next. Last season, the Phoenix Suns won 49 games, got knocked out in the first round, and now they're starting the Mike Budenholzer era. With such an expensive roster, not much has changed for the Suns. The main work will be done by the trio of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant. Tyus Jones is a good addition at point guard to bring some stability, and Grayson Allen is looking to keep up his amazing shooting streak. The Suns have a lot of talent at the top, and if Budenholzer can work his magic, there's some serious potential here. If not, the Suns will be stuck in a tough financial situation with no assets, and it might take them a while to bounce back.
Since the 2000-01 season, the Suns have failed to reach the playoffs for five consecutive years. Budenholzer has achieved 50-plus wins in four out of his last five seasons as a head coach.
The LA Clippers Team Preview!
So, the Clippers are up against the Nuggets and Warriors next. The LA Clippers had a solid 51 wins last season, but they haven't managed to win a playoff series since the 2020-21 season. Tyronn Lue is now in his 5th year, and his team has seen some changes with Paul George and Russell Westbrook leaving. The Clippers have brought in some new faces like Derrick Jones Jr., Nicolas Batum, and Kevin Porter Jr., but the big question is, will it be enough?
If Kawhi Leonard wants things to go smoothly in La La Land, he's gotta stay in good shape, ya know? And James Harden needs to step up his scoring game too. The Clippers, especially with Jones and Terance Mann, seem like they're ready to bring some extra hustle. It's all about whether they can score enough points, man.
Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers Game Prediction!
The Pick: The Suns ML +150
So, the Clippers are playing in their new arena for the first time and should be all hyped up for it. But here's the thing - they lost a bunch of key players in the off season and won't have Kawhi for who knows how long. The Clippers weren't exactly shining bright even before the season kicked off. On the other hand, the Suns got a new head coach and have a super talented roster. I'm betting on the Suns to start strong, grab the win, and cover the spread. I'm putting my money on them.
