The Clippers travel to Phoenix to battle the Suns after destroying the Nets on Thursday, but will head right back home to face the Nuggets tomorrow. Phoenix remains at home after a heartbreaking loss to the Rockets, and will continue their home stand with the Wizards up next. This will be the third meeting between these two, with Los Angeles taking the first two at home, so this should be business as usual for the Clippers today. Right? I'm not so sure. In the last game, the Clippers needed 45 points from Griffin with an uncharacteristic 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime to steal the victory 121-120 in their building. You can bet Phoenix has not forgotten, and with Friday night's loss to Houston still fresh on their minds, I expect them to unleash on the Clippers. Isiah Thomas did not play in the last meeting, so his 15 ppg will be an additional spark in today's matchup. Both teams have been rolling lately, but Los Angeles has struggled away from home, going 2-5 su and 1-6 ats in their last 7 road games. Meanwhile, Phoenix has been an impressive 7-1 in their last 8 home games. This home dog gets revenge this afternoon:
