The Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers will face off at the Footprint Center in the NBA on Tuesday night. The Suns (28-33) are 11th in the Western Conference, while the Clippers are seventh. Let’s get into the match prediction!

The Phoenix Suns have been a major disappointment this season and suffered their eighth defeat in the last 10 games on Sunday, losing 116-98 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Phoenix, led by Keven Durant’s 26 points, scored 34 points in the first quarter and took a lead into the half-time break, but they were unable to maintain that pace in the second half and were outscored 67-47. 

The Suns are averaging 113.8 points per game this season (14th in the league) but allow 115.9 PPG (22nd overall).

Meanwhile, the LA Clippers have not been great lately either, and were handed their sixth loss in 10 by their cross-town rivals, the Lakers, 108-102 on the road on Sunday. 

Kawhi Leonard put up 33 points and 10 rebounds on 13 of 23 shooting, but as a team, LA shot 43% from the field and made 12 of 39 attempts from long range. 

The Clippers are bottom-10 on the scoring charts, averaging 110.6 points per game, but they are a much better defensive unit that allows just 108.6 PPG - the fourth-best record in the NBA.
