Stephen Nover's NBA Tuesday Top Ticket - 67% Western Conference Hot Streak
(NBA) LA Clippers vs. Phoenix, 06/22/2021 9:00 PM, Score: 103 - 104
Point Spread: 5.50 | -110.00 LA Clippers (Away)
Result: Win
The Suns played well, especially Devin Booker, and defeated the Clippers, 120-114, in Game 1. 

The Clippers didn't play as well and were in a quick turnaround spot after having just knocked off the Jazz while the Suns were extremely well-rested. Phoenix made 55 percent of their shots from the floor. The Clippers connected on 45 percent.

Yet the Suns still won by just six points. 

Now that the Clippers have 52 hours between games in Phoenix, I'm expecting a better performance, proper adjustments and a closer game. 
No Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers, but LA closed out the Jazz without him. No Chris Paul for the Suns, which is just as big of a loss if not more because Paul runs the team and was playing at peak efficiency. 

The Clippers have made the right adjustments all season. I trust they'll do it again here so I'm taking these points in the belief this is going to be an extremely close game.
