It would have been a star-studded matchup from the NBA’s Western Conference on Wednesday night between the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns if all the key guys played, but Kevin Durant will not and thus the Clippers are favored on the NBA odds. Still a very good matchup. 2024 NBA Expert Analysis LA vs. Phoenix | MyBookie Sportsbook NBA Week 11

Season Series
Somehow, Wednesday is the first of four meetings between the clubs this season. The Suns and Clippers split the regular season series last year with the road team coming away in each of the four games. The Suns lead the all-time series 137-98 and 81-36 as the home team.
Why Bet on Los Angeles Clippers?
After missing the previous four games with a left hip injury, Leonard took a bit to get going Monday, but he eventually came through with an efficient, all-around stat line while taking on a normal minutes load in his return to action. He also reached a major milestone in the fourth quarter, when his dunk early in the period gave him 13,000 career points.
Leonard has won 13 straight regular-season games against the Heat, who were without Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin, Haywood Highsmith and Josh Richardson because of injuries.
“He’s one of the winningest players in league history during the regular season,” Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra said of Leonard before the game. “So if he’s healthy, he’s out there, he puts his team in a position to win… They’ve gotten their bleep together for the time being.”
Paul George finished Monday’s win with 23 points on 7-for-14 shooting. The return of Leonard made life a little easier for George offensively, as he shot 50% from the field on the night. They were the most points Powell has scored in a game this season and two more than his total in the Clippers’ prior two games.
Center Mason Plumlee (left MCL sprain) did not play in Monday’s win even though he was cleared to return from injury.
The Clippers rank seventh in the NBA in plus/minus differential (4.4) and eighth in steals per game (8.0). They are 144 at home this season, the fifth-best winning percentage on home court in the NBA. LAC is tied for sixth in the NBA at home in blocked shots (6.1) and 10th in plus/minus differential (6.9).
Why Bet on Phoenix Suns?
The Suns played without Kevin Durant on Monday but had little trouble beating Portland 109-88 for a fourth straight win.
The Suns allowed their lowest point total of the season vs. Portland. Bol Bol helped make up for Durant’s 10 absence with 11 points and nine rebounds. He had 19 total minutes coming into the night and more than doubled that on Monday. His only other rotation appearance featured lots of the basketball IQ and feel problems that have plagued him, a nod to his five fouls on the evening. Chimezie Metu got the start, though, and contributed 14 points and five rebounds.
“I want to credit our bench. … Credit those guys for staying ready,” Vogel said of the win. “We had some games over the course of this year when our bench got outplayed by the other team’s bench. Our bench tonight gets the game ball.”
Bradley Beal led the Suns with 21 points on Monday. Beal hasn’t been great when he has been on the floor this season, but he has put together two straight games with at least 20 points. He stepped up offensively with Devin Booker struggling (4-of-16 FGs, 10 points). The ended Booker’s streak of 13 straight games with at least 20 points and five assists. Booker is 1-of-3 players this season to rank in the top-11 in both scoring (11th) and assists (7th) .
