Suns vs Clippers Key Stats
After losing to Dallas in the Western Conference playoffs the previous year, Phoenix is starting the 2022–23 season with NBA Finals ambitions.
In their season opener on Wednesday night, the Suns were able to exact some revenge by defeating Dallas by a score of 107-105. The Suns put out a balanced effort, as four starters scored in double figures.
Devin Booker, a shooting guard, took the lead with 28 points on 10 of 20 shooting from the field. Myles Bridges, a small forward, and Deandre Ayton, a center, both had double-doubles in the victory. When the Suns traveled to Portland on Friday, they were unable to maintain their unblemished record for the season, losing in overtime 113-111.
The Clippers enjoy winning games against their cross-town rivals, so Thursday's victory was even sweeter than it otherwise would have been. Star forward Kawhi Leonard's return, who played in his first game in 16 months, gave them encouragement.
Leonard played 21 minutes in his first game since tearing a ligament in his knee in June 2021 and finished the contest with 14 points and seven rebounds off the bench.
The Clippers are anticipated to be contenders thanks to their two-time NBA Finals MVP. Paul George and John Wall, who have each made multiple All-Star appearances, are teamed with Leonard.

Suns vs Clippers Best Picks and Prediction
Even though it's still early in the season, Los Angeles will be humming on Sunday night because of this matchup. With their main players back, the Clippers have a chance to become title contenders once more this year. Wall and Leonard will be rested after sitting out on Saturday night, and this will be their home debut.
Phoenix is playing its second straight game on the road after an intense overtime thriller. I'm going to support the Clippers in this game because I believe they will be the more motivated team on Sunday night.
Prediction: Clippers -2.5 (-110) and Clippers -140
