As a team, the Clippers shot 58 percent from the field and 14 of 29 from the 3-point line as they fell into an early 14-point deficit in the first quarter, before they dominated the Heat the rest of the way to earn the easy home win.

Clippers vs Suns Prediction
The Clippers have been on a tear lately and they are coming into this one with a full squad to choose from, while the Suns have turned the corner with four wins on the trot, but they will be shorthanded here with Kevin Durant already ruled out. The Suns opened as favorites in this one, but with Durant listed as out, I’m definitely siding with the Clippers to take advantage as long as they don’t look past these Suns.
