LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction

The Clippers have lost their mojo lately with losses in five of their last six games and it's getting concerning. However, we know the deal with the Suns. I’ve said it for months now, the Suns aren’t a good basketball team. The Suns are also the worst cover team in the NBA at 21-39-1 ATS. Every night the Suns look like a team that doesn’t want to play together and is waiting for the offseason so they can blow things up. This feels like what the doctor ordered for the Clippers to get a much-needed win to stop the bleeding. If the Clippers don’t win this game, it may be time to hit the panic button. The Suns are terrible and easily the most disappointing team in the NBA.
