Staff Prediction

This is a matchup between two of the favorites in the Western Conference. The Clippers have just now gotten healthy with Kawhi Leonard and John Wall back in the lineup. The Suns have come in on hard times lately, having lost their last 5 games. With the Suns struggles as of late, and this being a home game for the Clippers, I expect Los Angeles to win and cover the 2 points.

Staff Pick LAC ATS (-2)
