To be exact, the Clippers season was over before it ever began. Kawhi Leonard was ruled out with a knee injury. At that point, the NBA betting dynamics on the Clippers changed dramatically. Now the elbow injury to Paul George further exacerbates LA’s inability to compete on a level court. Counter to that is a Suns team cranking cash and competing for the top seed in the West. Phoenix is showing great balance as one of the NBA’s most complete teams. Most important of all, the Suns are delivering reliable wagering value.
