Los Angeles at Phoenix

The Los Angeles Clippers just topped off a sensational four-game run with a tremendous come-from-behind victory against the choking Utah Jazz to advance to the conference final for the first time in their franchise history. The Clippers won 131-119 on Friday, and the game went OVER by 29 points as the Clippers shot 56.5% while the Jazz shot nearly 50%. Phoenix went OVER by 20 points while sweeping the Nuggets on Sunday, and Chris Paul is doubtful due to COVID protocol for Game 1 of this series. However, Cameron Payne is a capable backup and is averaging 10.2 points in 10 playoff games this season. The Suns are 20-8 OVER their past 28 games as favorites and 10-4-1 OVER following a win. The Clippers have gone OVER four of their last five games. Play the OVER in Game 1.
