Like most Lithuanians, I started watching basketball from the age of six. I'm based out in London and played basketball at the University of Lincoln here in the UK. I had always had an interest in the NBA but things really took off in the summer of 2010. That year Linas Kleiza led Lithuania to 3rd place at the World Championships and signed with the Toronto Raptors to replace the departing Chris Bosh. I've been a Raptors fan since that day and I've not missed a game since. I've been handicapping games for more than a decade, specializing in player props.

With the series tied after 2 games in Phoenix, the Suns and the Clippers make their way over to Los Angeles. With the hosts now having wrestled home court advantage in their favour, they will be keen not to relinquish it at the first time of asking. The Suns regular season form on the road has been far from inspiring too, with the team amassing a 17-24 record. They will need to improve on that quickly if they are hoping to progress to the next round.

Take a look at all of our NBA Playoff predictions. But for now we’ll jump right into my Suns vs Clippers same game parlay.

Kawhi Leonard over 29.5 points (-106)

Under 227 (-110)

These teams have played each other 6 times already this season, with 4 of these games coming in under the 227-point mark. Neither of the games in Los Angeles surpassed 207 points. With the lack of production the visitors have been getting from their bench, look for this to be another low-scoring encounter. On the season the teams are just 21st and 22nd in pace, so this should turn into a half-court battle. Over that same stretch the Suns have ranked in the top 10 in opponent fast-break points per game and opponent points in the paint. It should mean that they will be well positioned to limit the home offense too. I’ll back the under in this one.

Kawhi Leonard over 29.5 points (-106)

Kawhi Leonard has started the series off strong for the Clippers, averaging 34.5 points per game so far. With Paul George remaining out for the entire first round of the playoffs, Leonard should continue to shoulder the offensive burden. Going back to Los Angeles for Game 3 should help. His field goal and 3-point percentage went up this season when playing at home compared to his season average. It should help lead to another strong 30-point scoring performance from the forward. He has been very aggressive in attacking the paint, which gives him a great chance of getting to the free throw line. With the forward making 88.2% of his attempts so far in this series, it would be a great way for the superstar to pad his scoring numbers.

Gordon over 2.5 made threes (+122)

The Clippers brought in Eric Gordon in the middle of the season to provide perimeter scoring and he has so far delivered this post season. Though the 2 games he has made 7 of his 16 attempts from beyond the arc, hitting at least 3 in each. Look for that to continue tonight at home. He has not shied away from attacking from the outside either. He is averaging 8 attempts per game on 42.5% shooting. If he can get close to that volume once again here, this line would have a terrific chance of hitting. The Suns backcourt is not exactly defensively stout either, with an aging Chris Paul and a attack minded Devin Booker. Gordon should get his chances here as a result.
