Phoenix Suns vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Phoenix Suns are coming off a couple of nice wins, and they should like their chances to keep things rolling given the rest advantage. The LA Clippers are on the end of a back-to-back and just had an ugly loss to the Trail Blazers. While that should motivate a bounce-back performance, it's also hard playing a second game in as many days when you're undermanned. Harden, Powell, and DJJ logged 32 or more minutes last night. A rested and explosive Suns squad has a clear edge. I'll lay the points with the Suns.
