Will the Suns punch their ticket to the next round?

The Suns are 3-1 up in the series against the LA Clippers. With a win now they could already clinch a spot in the Western Conference semifinals.

Phoenix Suns – statistics & current form

Head coach Monty Williams’ team has been one of the top favorites to win the NBA title since signing Kevin Durant last February. With him on board, the already high quality of the Suns has increased even more.

Against this backdrop, it is hardly surprising that the hosts could book their place in the next round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs with a win. Devin Booker is also in good form: Shooting guard is averaging 34.8 points in the postseason – best in the league!

LA Clippers – statistics & current form

The Clippers still have to cope without Paul Georg and most recently Kawhi Leonard was missing twice as well. Without the two top players, the guests must be described as significantly weakened.

Although the bench of the guests presents itself reliably, but this is obviously not enough against the playful team of the opponent. Now there is a lot of pressure for LA, because they have to win the next game, so that the series is not already over in favor of the Suns.

Phoenix Suns – LA Clippers tip

For the fifth meeting of the Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the betting and odds on more than 25.5 points by Russell Westbrook is a good option. Without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the guard is now the most important player in the visitors’ offense.

This was also observed in the last two games without the “Claw” and “Playoff P”, when he delivered 30 and 37 points. In addition, his average output in the 2023 NBA Playoffs amounts to 26 points – about ten points more than in the regular season!
