Predictions
The Suns are in amazing form lately and have a healthy squad as well. The Clippers are also in decent form going into this game, but considering how dangerous the Suns have been lately in both ends of the floor, they are surely the favorites against the Clippers.
Los Angeles Clippers’ injury updates and predicted lineup
The Clippers blew out a relatively stacked Trail Blazers team 133-116. Much of it was because of the amazing performance by their superstar Paul George who scored a game high 36 points.
The Clippers will be missing some key players due to injuries. Backup shooting guard Jay Scrubb is sidelined due to a foot injury. Center Serge Ibaka is also out sidelined with back injury and is unavailable against the Blazers.
The Clippers face off against a Suns side who are coming off of a victory over the Utah Jazz. Given the form Phoenix are in this might make up for an interesting battle.
