Lou Williams led a balanced scoring attack with 22 points off the bench on 5-of-11 shooting including 1-of-3 from 3-point range plus 11-of-11 at the free throw line. He also tallied eight assists and three rebounds. Kawhi Leonard notched 21 points, nine assists and five boards. Patrick Patterson tallied 20 points and three caroms.

NBA Betting Trends

Los Angeles

The Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Los Angeles is 35-17 ATS in its last 52 games versus the Pacific Division.

Phoenix

The Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last four games versus the Pacific Division. Phoenix is 4-1 ATS in its last five Saturday games.

Prediction:

Phoenix has actually looked very good in its first two games of the season, the last being without Ayton. This will be a very tough challenge against an LA team on one day of rest, but I like  the Suns to keep this one close as they are playing with real confidence right now and have a floor leader in point guard Ricky Rubio. The Clippers might be in a bit of a letdown spot after opening with a couple big games against the Lakers and the Warriors. I think this one stays close throughout.
