Phoenix Suns -4.5
(NBA) Suns (PHO) vs. Clippers (LAC),
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Suns (PHO) (Away)
Result: Loss
A quick look at the rosters tell you everything you need to know here. Phoenix has their starting five intact, including a trio of dangerous scorers in Bradley Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Throw in a new coach in Mike Budenholzer, who will get the most of his guys, and a point guard in Tyus Jones that provides the team with a facilitator on the offensive end, and the Suns should be improved offensively this season. Meanwhile, the Clippers won't have Kawhi Leonard, leaving James Harden, who struggled to shoot with any kind of consistency last season, as the team's top scoring threat. There just isn't much in the cupboard for the Clippers on the offensive end and the Suns should be able to take advantage of that situation and earn the road win here.
