Maybe it shouldn't be too shocking that the Suns are tied with the top record in the NBA at 5-1. They were the best team in the Orlando bubble last season winning all eight of their games. 
The Suns are winning with defense. They are giving up the fewest points per game in the NBA at 98.7. Phoenix has been even stingier in its last four games holding foes to 96 points per contest.  The oddsmaker and marketplace have been slow to adjust. Phoenix has gone Under in every one of its games. 
The important matter here is have the proper totals adjustment on Phoenix finally been made? I say it still hasn't. This total is too high. 
Both the Clippers and Suns are slow-paced teams. The Clippers will be looking to pound the Suns inside in a deliberate, time-consuming matter. Superstar Kawhi Leonard is bothered by wearing a face mask, something he has to do for the time being after suffering a deep cut near his mouth a few games ago. 
LA was just held to 100 points on the road against the Jazz in its last game this past Friday. 
Chris Paul is running the show in Phoenix, which has meant a slower tempo. That's helped keep Phoenix's scores down, too. The average combined score in Phoenix games this season is 206.6 points. Not once has there been more than 216 points scored in any of the Suns' games. 
The Clippers should have their defensive intensity up for this game coming off a 106-100 road loss to Utah and realizing how improved Phoenix is. Leonard and Paul George are excellent defenders in addition to being high scorers. Patrick Beverley is a superb defender, too. 
LA ranks 11th in scoring defense. If you discount a freakish 124-73 loss to Dallas, the Clippers would be giving up 105.8 points per game instead of 108.8. That lower figure would have them ranked seventh in the league defensively.
