LA Clippers

The Los Angeles basketball players looked pretty confident in the preseason games. They didn't make any mistakes in the last ones. Thanks to their well-coordinated actions, the Clippers defeated Dallas (110:96) and Sacramento (113:91).
James Harden showed himself well in some matches. "The Beard" was the real leader of the team.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mo Bamba, Kawhi Leonard and P.J. Tucker will not play.
Interesting facts for betting
The Clippers have scored at least 110 points in three of their last four preseason games, and it likely that the Los Angeles team will continue to demonstrate that type of play.
Estimated lineup: Zubac - Hyland, Powell - Mann, Batum.
Phoenix Suns
USACurrent form
In preseason games, Phoenix alternated victories and defeats. In principle, the team from Arizona demonstrated a good game, but it lacked something. Because of this, in the last game in overtime, the Suns lost to the Lakers (122:128), although before that they defeated Denver (118:114).

1.79Tip and bets
If we look at the preseason games, we will see that the Clippers looked like a more coordinated team. In addition, in the last face-to-face meetings they beat Phoenix. The home court factor also speaks in favor of the Los Angeles team. In short, even if the hosts lose, they are unlikely to do so without a fight.
Our prediction is Clippers with a handicap of (+5.5) points at 1.86
Bet on total
Last season, the Clippers were a slow team that was cautious around the basket. That made for boring games. That unlikely to change.
Forecast - total under 226.5 points for 1.74
Bet on statistics
Phoenix has been excellent offensively in most of their recent head-to-head meetings. We expect Booker and company to show something similar.
Forecast - "Phoenix": total over 112.5 points for 1.78
