Los Angeles Clippers -5 (-110)
Despite the current win streak of Phoenix, the Clippers have been dominant in head-to-head meetings, winning 12 of the last 13 at Staples Center between the two teams. They’ve also covered 10 times in those 13 games and have beaten them 15 times in 17 games. In their last game against Portland, they were a very efficient 51.7 percent from the field which resulted in a 17-point win against one of the dark horses in the West. George had 36 points, while Kawhi Leonard was close to a triple-double with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. The Clippers also won the first meeting of the season by five points played in Phoenix.

Over 223.5 Points (-110)
Both teams have been on fire recently, Suns are averaging 125.6 points over their last five outings while the Clippers are at 114.6 over their last six. An average of 240 points has been scored in the last five Phoenix games and he over has cashed in all five of them. Clippers have dropped 133 on the Blazers last time out, the O/U numbers for their home games are 15-11-1 this season. An average of 225.5 points has been scored in the last 10 meetings and the over has cashed twice in the last three encounters. Both Paul George and Devin Booker are coming off big games, they will want to put on another show in front of a national TV audience.
Devin Booker to score 30+ Points (+142)
As much as Chris Paul has been carrying the Suns all season long, it’s been the Devin Booker show these last couple of games. In his last three outings Booker has scored 45, 36 and 32 points against the Bulls, Thunder and Rockets. Since the All-Star break he has upped his scoring by 3.1 points and has scored at least one three-pointer in every game since February 26th. He isn’t afraid to attack the rim, over his last five games he’s averaged 8.2 free throw attempts and has missed only three of them. This man has the whole package offensively, look for him to be the main scoring option for Phoenix here.
Paul George to make Over 2.5 Threes (-128)
George is coming off a masterful performance against the Portland Trail Blazers, he scored 36 points and was 6/9 from three-point land. He has scored a three in 37 of 39 games this season and is shooting 45 percent from deep in home games. In the first meeting between the two teams this season he scored 39 points on 7/10 shooting from beyond the arc. For the season he is averaging 3.2 makes per game, I don’t see anyone on the Suns being able to stop him from shooting tonight. Look for George to continue his hot form.
