Clippers vs Suns NBA betting preview (February 16th, 2023). The LA Clippers are -1.5 (Unibet) on Thursday.
The LA Clippers could be in a spot of trouble on Thursday. They will be looking for a win on the road when they face the Phoenix Suns, the last game in the NBA’s regular season ahead of the All-Star break. The Suns, who have been playing really well lately, will host the game with a start time of 10:00 PM ET.
The Clippers, at the time of writing, were the very small underdogs, set at +1.5 (Unibet). Bettors should be taking the Suns to cover with Unibet, in what looks like a competitive game.
The LA Clippers will enter the game with an overall record of 32-28 on the season. This is a star-studded affair and there are lots of points and counterpoints that could be made for each team.
What should be swaying bettors is that Norman Powell will be out for the game. On many occasions this season, he has come in for the LA Clippers and torched the opposing team’s bench. He is a key player that LA will miss in what looks like a really tight game.
The Phoenix Suns are 32-27 on the season. They are still without Kevin Durant but they are otherwise pretty soundly built for their upcoming game. They have gone 11-3 in their last 14 games and are hard to lay off at home on Thursday. They’ve gone 20-9 from home this season and a -1.5 handicap looks a little bit off.
