After you’re done checking it out, be sure to also go through our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 6-game slate.
Let’s dive in!
LA Clippers 1–10 win margin (+175)
Paul George to score 25+ points (+112)
Ivica Zubac over 7.5 rebounds (-122)
Parlay odds: +888
LA Clippers 1-10 win margin (+175)
The Clippers come into this game on the heels of a 19-point home win over the New Orleans Pelicans. They’ve been in solid form, winning 3 of their last 4 games. Phoenix just clinched their best ever regular-season record last night with a win over the Lakers, eliminating them from the play-in tournament in the process. There’s not much to play for if you’re the Suns. The #1 seed has been locked for a while now and with this being a 2nd night of a back-to-back I’m expecting them to dial it down a bit and rest a few guys. Knowing Monty Williams though, he will be on his players regardless who takes the floor, so it could still be a close outcome. LA won the first meeting of the season played at Crypto.com Arena, and with a healthy Paul George they have a solid enough chance to get one over the not-so-motivated Suns.

Paul George to score 25+ points (+112)
There’s not much left to play for this season for the Clippers, who are stuck in the 8th seed with no chance of moving up or down. But, there are still things they need to work on before their play-in game against Minnesota and one of those is getting Paul George acclimated with his teammates as he just recently returned from an injury that cost him several months of this season. In the 3 games since coming back he has shown flashes of greatness, averaging 23.7 points per game, with his highest point total coming against Utah in his 1st game back, when he had 34.
Since then he’s had 22 and 15-point games, and tonight against a Phoenix Suns team that is likely resting a few key players he should have another solid game. His 3-ball has been consistent and he’s at 52% of made shots over the last 3 games. The Suns have allowed teams to shoot 35.1% from the perimeter in their last 3, so that’s something he can take advantage of. In his last 3 meetings with the Suns he’s scored 25, 33 and 39 points, so hopefully that streak continues with another solid performance.

Ivica Zubac over 7.5 rebounds (-122)
I really like the inside presence that Ivica Zubac provides the Clippers with this season. He is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, and has been their most consistent player all season, appearing in 73 games. In 2 games against the Suns he’s recorded 9 rebounds per game, while in his last 10 overall he is at 8.6 boards per game. There’s also a solid chance he won’t have to deal with Deandre Ayton in tonight’s game, and if he’s out the way Zubac might get a few offensive rebounds as well. The Suns are allowing 4.3 rebounds per game more over their last 3 games compared to their season average, we could be in for another high rebounding game.
