The Suns have seven wins in their last ten games (excluding Tuesday’s game against the Kings) and are looking forward to Kevin Durant’s debut. The Clippers have lost two games in a row (not counting Tuesday’s loss to the Warriors), but are still in direct playoff positions in the West.

Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular Season Record: 31-28
The Los Angeles Clippers are rumored to be a possible team interested in signing point guard Russell Westbrook in case he is released by the Utah Jazz, the team he joined after a three-way trade involving the Lakers and Timberwolves.
The All-Star forward, Paul George (who was already Westbrook’s teammate in Oklahoma City), openly expressed his desire for the top brass to bring in the explosive point guard, but for now it’s all speculation.
Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular Season Record: 31-27
The Phoenix Suns reported that Kevin Durant is already doing some physical work on the court, but the star forward still does not have an exact return date.
For the time being, it is not ruled out that Durantula will be available for the team’s first game following the All Star Game, on February 24, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is already generating high expectations among fans who are hoping to win the franchise’s first title this year.
The Suns experienced some bitter moments with Devin Booker’s injury, but they have recovered and are already in 4th place in the Western Conference.
JefeBet Prediction
The Suns have defeated the Clippers in the two previous matchups between the two in the current NBA season; and as a curious fact, it is worth mentioning that one game ended 112-95 and the other 111-95.
Considering that both games covered the Under, at JefeBet we are once again leaning towards a game with good defense in which an exaggerated amount of points will not be scored, especially with the absence of Kevin Durant.
Prediction: Under.
