Phoenix Suns Daily Fantasy Spin
Suns shooting guard Eric Gordon missed the team’s last game due to right knee soreness. He’s officially listed as questionable for Monday’s game with that same ailment. Gordon is averaging 13.6 points per game in 31.4 minutes per contest for Phoenix this season.

Suns center Bol Bol is questionable for Monday’s game with a right ankle sprain. The Oregon alum is averaging 3.2 points per game this season.
Los Angeles Clippers Daily Fantasy Spin
Clippers center Ivica Zubac was the team’s best player in their 106-103 road loss to the Lakers on Sunday night. The 7-footer from Bosnia and Herzegovina put up 22 points and 19 rebounds. Both figures led the team. He shot 9 of 13 from the field and converted all 4 of his free throw attempts.
L.A. forward Paul George was also solid in his team’s loss to the Lakers on Sunday. George logged 22 points, 5 steals, 4 made three-pointers, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in the loss. Paul George is second on the team in scoring with 23.2 points per game on the campaign.

Suns vs. Clippers NBA Prediction:
Both of these teams are playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Clippers have the advantage, however, as their game on Sunday was a “road” game at their home arena against the Lakers. Phoenix played at home against Memphis on Sunday night and lost to the Grizzlies outright 121-115. The Suns are 7-14 ATS when playing an opponent on equal rest this season, and 4-6 ATS as an underdog this year.
The Clippers are 10-7 ATS as home favorites this season, and 14-13 ATS in conference games this year. For context, the Suns are just 10-15 ATS against Western Conference foes in 2023. I think the Clippers get back on track at home against an underachieving Suns team on Monday night.
