Phoenix

For the most part this is an aged rosters but there must be something in the water because the team has won two in a row and seven of ten heading into L.A. Wednesday night.

The Suns have beaten the Clippers both time they have played them this season, most recently a couple of weeks ago but will have played the night before.

Chief among the veterans leading the charge is point guard Steve Nash.  Nash is leading the league in assists while shooting an amazing 54% from the field and almost never missing from the charity stripe.  His mastery makes it possible for players like Grant Hill and Michael Redd to make solid contributions.

Meanwhile Marcin Gortat might be the most unheralded big man in the league.

Los Angeles

Just because a Blake Griffin dunk leads Sports Centre doesn’t mean that the Clippers are playing great basketball. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

In fact the team is just 5-5 in the last 10 and the Western Conference is bunching up around them.  The Clips generally play very well at home and will need to to thwart a Suns team on the rise that hasn’t lost to L.A. this year.

If they lose to Phoenix again things will just get that much tighter.

The Clippers have won their last two games by 12 and 16 points.

Blake Griffin and Chris Paul are steady producers but for this team to be special they need someone else to step up.  Since coming over in a deal for Washington wing Nick Young has been doing so, scoring well despite not logging heavy minutes.

He has shown with the Wizards that he has the capability now he just has to be consistent in his new environs.

Spread Pick:  Clippers -6
O/U Pick:  Over
Score Prediction:  Clippers 101 – Phoenix 98
