Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix enter the new season looking to bounce back from a miserable end to last season.

The Suns made it to the postseason last time around, but quickly crashed out as they were swept in four games by Minnesota.

They will look to exorcise those demons this season, and they go into their opening game having gone 3-2 during the pre-season.

Phoenix began that schedule on the road and followed up a 118-114 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a 115-97 win in Detroit.

The Suns then lost at home to Detroit, 109-91, before failing to follow up a 118-114 victory in Denver as they lost their pre-season finale against the Lakers, 128-122 in overtime.

LA Clippers Form

LA Clippers suffered a massive blow on the eve of the season, as they lost Kawhi Leonard “indefinitely” due to a knee injury.

The absence of Leonard is a big blow for a Clippers team who also fell at the first hurdle in last season’s playoffs.

They go into their season-opener on the back of a strong pre-season though, having won four of their five games.

LA kicked off their pre-season schedule with a 91-90 defeat to Golden State, but quickly rebounded to beat Brooklyn 115-106 and Portland 101-99.

The Clippers then beat the team who eliminated them last season, the Dallas Mavericks, 110-96, before wrapping up pre-season with a 113-91 victory over Sacramento.

Verdict

PHX Suns @ LA Clippers

Leonard is once again sidelined for the Clippers, while the Suns are at full strength for this one.

Phoenix also have a strong recent record when visiting this half of LA, so give us the visitors tonight.
