Why the Clippers can cover

The Clippers have won four of their last six games and are coming off a 127-117 victory over the Bucks on Saturday. James Harden had 40 points and nine assists with Norman Powell adding 33 points in the win. Harden is averaging 21.7 points and is sixth in the league in assists at 8.3 per game as the 10-time All-Star is coming off his third 40-point performance of the season. Powell, a 10-year NBA veteran, is having a standout campaign, averaging a career-high 23.9 ppg this year. He’s scored at least 22 points in five straight games to add scoring depth to a starting lineup featuring Harden and Kawhi Leonard.

Los Angeles has the No. 3 scoring defense in the NBA, allowing 106.8 ppg this season. The Clippers have held teams to fewer than 100 points in four of their last eight games as teams are shooting just 45.1% from the field against them, the fourth-lowest in the league. The Clippers also have the third-best 3-point defense (33.9%), so the Suns may not have many open looks on Monday. See which team to pick here.

Why the Suns can cover

The Suns have won four of their last five games and are coming off a 119-109 victory over the Wizards on Saturday. Kevin Durant had 29 points in the win as he’s been Phoenix’s leading scorer in three of the last four games. Durant is fifth in the league in scoring at 27.2 ppg as he’s set to play in his 15th All-Star Game this year. The 36-year-old has shot better than 53% from the field in three straight games as he’s still one of the league’s top scorers despite being in his 17th NBA season. Devin Booker is adding 25.5 ppg and has scored at least 30 points in six of his last eight games as one of the top-scoring duos in the league.

Phoenix is one of the most efficient shooting teams in the league, ranking 10th in field goal percentage (55%). The Suns are sixth in 3-point shooting (37.4%), so despite Los Angeles being strong at defending from deep, the Phoenix shooters will provide the Clippers a tough challenge. The Suns also have the fourth-best shooting percentage from the foul line (79.9%), so Los Angeles needs to be careful with how it defends Phoenix. See which team to pick here.
