Betting on the Phoenix Suns
- Regular season record: 1-1.
- Spread: +2.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: (+115).
- Over/Under: 219.5.
The Phoenix team is one of the favorites to fight for the Western Conference title, and despite their loss to the Trail Blazers, they showcased great talent on the court.
In a very even duel from start to finish, a shot by Anfernee Simmons, with 7.2 seconds left in the first overtime, was one of the daggers that ended the Suns’ aspirations.
In spite of Devin Booker’s 33 points and DeAndre Ayton’s 26 points,The Suns managed just 21 free throws in the game, and the two most important ones by Ayton to tie the game with 1.2 seconds left, were two of the six that the team missed.
However, in all other aspects of the game, the team coached by Monty Williams looked extremely competent. Portland had to dig deep to come out on top, and another good game is surely in store for us in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Betting on Los Angeles Clippers
- Regular season record: 2-0.
- Spread: -2.5
- BetMGM Moneyline: (-141).
- Over/Under: 219.5.
Once again, the Clippers were able to manage the game in its final moments, and despite being pressured by Sacramento, the Clippers were able to take their second win of the campaign.
The star of the game was Paul George, who had to carry the team through the game in the absence of Kawhi Leonard and John Wall, both in the midst of a work plan to gradually recover their physical condition due to knee injuries they suffered in the last few seasons.
George scored 40 points, making 16 of his 31 shots from the field in addition to the five free throws. He also contributed with six assists and six rebounds, fulfilling his assigned goal on his visit to the Kings.
We’ll see if Leonard and Wall return to action this Sunday, when the team returns to Los Angeles to face the struggling Suns.
JefeBet Prediction
It is true that the Clippers have won their first two games, but both were won by a very small margin, and at certain points in the fourth period they were down on the scoreboard.
This Sunday they will have to face Phoenix, a team that is one of the favorites to win the Western Conference, and that comes well-rested after losing in overtime to the Trail Blazers on Friday.
Prediction: Suns to win (PHO 106 – LA 101)
