Los Angeles at Phoenix

Premium Pick

The LA Clippers will open the first round of the playoffs in Phoenix. I think they took a big blow when Paul George went down with a sprained knee. George is a superstar-caliber player that has thrived in the playoffs and I don't think LA can hang with the Suns without him. Phoenix has to feel really good about themselves. The Suns went 7-0 before resting players the last two games of the season, so they come into this game at home, rested, and confident. The Clippers are just 6-9 SU vs the Suns in the last 15 meetings as well as 6-9 ATS. I like Phoenix in game one.

1.5 units on Phoenix -7 (-110) (risk 1.5 to return 2.86)
