Best NBA Bets Today: Clippers vs. Suns Expert Picks, Predictions & Prop Bets

The Suns are the best team in the NBA and are doing it on both sides of the floor. Phoenix is the third-best scoring offense in the league and seventh-best scoring defense. They won their fifth straight after routing Orlando, and Chris Paul continued his league-leading assist assault, dropping 15 on the night. Devin Booker led the team in scoring, and they continue to get solid contributions out of a healthy Deandre Ayton. The Suns are also healthy around their main stars, as Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder and Cameron Johnson are all contributing.

Knocking off the second-best team in the NBA was no issue for the Clippers last night, as they downed the Warriors at home. They hit the road for one game in Arizona as the Clippers are looking for their third straight win. Gone for now are Paul George and Norman Powell, but Los Angeles saw a huge night from Terance Mann and Reggie Jackson. Beating the top two teams in the league on back-to-back nights is not an easy task, and the Clippers may be without Luke Kennard for the second straight game with an ankle injury.

Under 223.5: -110 (FanDuel)

The Clippers deserve all the credit for outlasting the Warriors last night but now face a rested Suns team that has been off since Saturday. Phoenix is on a solid win streak, so do not expect any early rust. Los Angeles is bound to run out of gas; it is just a matter of when, not if, and how badly they get beaten. The Clippers are just 24th in the NBA in scoring, but they play good enough defense to limit the Suns — at least good enough to prevent the Suns from clearing the total on their own. Two things that also help Phoenix from avoiding any letdown would be their next opponent being the Rockets and the balanced depth the Suns have on a nightly basis. Expect them to clamp down on a weaker Clippers team while not needing to put up 140 on the scoreboard.

OddsShopper will provide the latest and best number to play on the total, especially if it starts to climb due to recency bias from the last Clippers win.

Reggie Jackson Over 2.5 3-Pointers: +142 (FanDuel)

The application of OddsShopper ranges from game plays to smaller player prop markets, and it shows a solid return with Reggie Jackson’s made 3’s. Awesemo’s projection has Jackson sinking 2.9 3’s tonight, combined with a solid 35% xROI on the prop. The xWin sits at 56% on OddsShopper, but the plus-money return validates the risk. Jackson has at least five attempts in five of six games in February, so clearly there is volume in play for this prop to hit. The Suns also pull from deep, so Jackson may be one of few Clippers options to keep up with Phoenix.

Nicolas Batum Over 1.5 3-Pointers: -+100 (BetRivers)

The other player given more shooting opportunities from deep would be Nicolas Batum, as the Clippers will desperately need made 3’s to stay in this game. The margin is a little wider than the Jackson prop, as the data supports OddsShopper making this one of its stronger plays. The xWin is 65% combined with a 30% xROI, and Awesemo has Batum projected for 2.2 makes. Batum saw an increase in shot attempts from deep against the Warriors and should see that trend continue tonight against the Suns.

Chris Paul Over 1.5 Steals: -105 (DraftKings)

While the rest of the world will be focused on Paul’s impact on the offensive side, OddsShopper located a smart play on defense. Attacking Paul’s assist total at over 1.5 matches up with Awesemo’s projection of two steals. OddsShopper sees a 60% chance of Paul getting at least two steals, combined with a 20% xROI on the prop. Paul has three straight games of two steals and has at least two steals in five of seven games this month.

Mikal Bridges Over 1.5 Made 3’s: +114 (FanDuel)

The Long Distance Launch is nothing too large, as Bridges has been consistent enough for this prop to hit, and with a plus-money return. Bridges has hit two 3’s in two straight games and five of seven in February. More importantly, he has seen enough volume where he does not have to shoot over 50% from the floor to knock down only two makes. He has gone under four attempts just one time this month: One of the games where he failed to hit two from deep. Bridges should be active from 3 tonight to the point where he can launch five or six attempts, which is more than enough to knock down the two and cash this ticket.
