Premium Pick

The Phoenix Suns have last finished over .500 in the 2013 season, and have not made the playoffs since 2009. They are 15-33 on the season, and are a few players away from being competitive again. They are a bad team that is playing bad as they have put their last four games in the loss column. Looking at their failure on the defensive end explains their problem as they have allowed 113.3 points per game in their last 11, and 122 ppg in their last three. It's tough to win when there is zero commitment on the defensive end. The Clippers have shot 46% or better in 9 of their last 12 games, so against a team that refuses to defend, they should shoot the ball exceptionally well. Take the Clippers.
