Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Analysis
The Los Angeles Clippers may be on the brink of elimination, but it is far from over with Russell Westbrook still going wild for them. Westbrook has taken it upon himself to lead the Clippers forward without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George present. Over the last three games in this series, the former league MVP has averaged 31.7 points on 54.4 percent shooting from the field and seven assists and 6.3 rebounds. He also shot 8 of 16 from deep during that span. However, Norman Powell was conspicuously absent in Game 4, only shooting 4 of 15 for 14 points after scoring 42 points in Game 2. As Leonard is likely to miss yet another game, Westbrook cannot be relied upon alone to carry the Clippers forward. The Clippers continue to rely on Tyronn Lue as one of their coaches; his peers consider him one of the top mentors.
Phoenix is taking full advantage of an injury-plagued Los Angeles Clippers team. In Game 4, Kevin Durant led all scorers for Phoenix with 31 points on 9 of 17 shooting from the field while Devin Booker registered 30 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists – continuing his hot play from earlier rounds. All 3 scorers for Phoenix are shooting above 50% from the field so far in this series. They should only be able to maintain that level of efficiency as long as the Clippers continue missing Leonard and Paul George. As a team, the Suns have averaged 118.5 points on 50.7 field goal percentage and 38 percent three point shooting against the Clippers during playoff play. Things are looking promising for the Suns after they earned home court advantage for the remainder of Round 1 with victory in Game 4. Devin Booker led his Suns team to victory against the Clippers with 38 points and nine assists during Game 2, helping secure their 123-109 triumph at home.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Free Pick
The Los Angeles Clippers are putting up a fight, but the Phoenix Suns hold an obvious edge due to the undermanned Clippers roster and getting an extra day’s rest from Booker and Durant after playing heavy minutes for both teams. If the Suns get off to a fast start at home, we could see the Clippers collapse due to Kawhi injury’s effect. The Phoenix Suns will be winning here as per the NBA betting trends.
