Los Angeles Clippers (39-41) at Phoenix Suns (61-19)

The Los Angeles Clippers need to win their next two games to make the playoffs and have Golden State lose one of their remaining two games. Neither of those things seems too likely. The Clippers will have to win in Phoenix tonight against a Suns team that normally dominates them. They will also have to hope the Warriors lose tonight against Dallas or tomorrow against Portland. What damaged the Clippers’ playoff hopes was a loss at home against Sacramento in a game they had to win. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public all over the Suns at home laying the points.

Playing in front of their 13th sellout crowd of the season, the Clippers were terrible in the first half against the last-place team in the Pacific Division and fell behind by 23 points to the Kings midway through the second quarter before making it close at the end of the game. “I am real disappointed with the way we played in the first quarter,” Elton Brand said. “Some guys made the effort, and other guys didn’t. I am shocked because our guys didn’t come out and play hard. We knew what the task was at hand but we just didn’t deliver. We definitely need help [to make the playoffs], but it doesn’t look like we are going to get any help.”

The Phoenix Suns are 4 point favorites with a total 209.5 of at SBG Global.

Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy was not optimistic about their playoff chances. “We will watch our film. We will see who the guys are that missed box outs, who the guys are that missed plays, made bad plays and we will try and learn from it. Now we are relying on someone else to help us get in. We have two games to play, we need to get wins there and we need to get some help.” I am hopeful that Dallas plays a great game and gets a win. I hope they are at full strength. I am not the one pulling the trigger on that.”

The Clippers end the regular season with a home game against New Orleans tomorrow.
