Previous game @ Clippers. Phoenix won 108-88. That game was followed up the next day with a rematch in Phoenix where the Suns won 94-88.
Judging by this, Phoenix should win. It appears that Grant Hill is the only Phoenix injury, while the Clippers have no notable injuries. The Clippers last game was on the 12th, and have 3 days rest going into their home game. The Suns are in the same situation and also have 3 days rest. The Clippers last four games have been home losses to four top 8 teams.
I feel that the Clippers can't even compete with the Suns at this point, but we all know how that goes. Not to mention the last week trend of road favorites of 5+ have not been covering. Watching NBA fastbreak right now, they made a good point that everyone is starting to get tired, perfect example being the Celtics. Being a Suns fan, I can't help but lean towards the Suns...
My only current play is Phoenix -2 1Q. The last two meetings the Suns won the first quarter by 7, and then by 8.

Thats a pretty safe bet Deke. As far as the spread on the game, its iffy. Like you mentioned they lost by 20 at home then by 6 in Phoenix.

Kaman will play and start, but his ankle was hurt in their last game with Dallas.

suns will win but as for covering, i'm not sure
their first game together was their highest scoring one with 207 total i believe, and each game after that became less and less...i would bet the under and suns money line
my prediction - 107-99

Took Suns -7... In reality Phoenix should blow L.A Clippers out by 20+ points. It would be a fix to see L.A cover the spread in this game and an embarassment to the league to see them win

Lol Jeff, you had similar words on the knicks vs wizards. Can't judge each team from how they have been playing. Clippers took this team to game 7 two years ago in the playoffs. They got hit with injuries, but they can win when they get their act together.

very true but theres a huge difference. The Clippers are a bad team, but not the absolute worst. They aren't an embarassment to the league like the Knicks. The Knicks also faced the Wizards... L.A Is facing Phoenix. The reality is Phoenix really should blow L.A out, not only because Phoenix is the highest scoring team in the league and L.A is the lowest scoring team in the league, but also because Phoenix likes to run the ball and play fast pace, while the Clippers play each shot down to 8 seconds left on the shotclock and are not a running team at all..
Phoenix should blow Washington, NY, and L.A all out... but Washington between NY, Washington should have won.. Jamaal Crawford carries the Knicks, and David Lee is ugly

Had suns 1Q -2 HUGE PLAY. BetED accidently gave me money for hitting golden state -7.5. So I put all that money on the Suns -2 1Q too. I told myself I wouldn't watch the box score. I turned it on. 23-16 Suns. AND THEY F#$%^% up and blew it. Not only did they blow the first quarter, but the game too. Hit a lot of plays earlier tonight and kept putting all my winnings on this bet. I was completely all for the clippers +8.5, yet I was even more pumped about the first quarter line. BAD. Pissed at the NBA, everyone is slacking, yeah it's mid season everyone is exhausted, but jesus, how in the world can you make a good bet. My best bets of the night were Cleveland/Memphis Over, hit that by like 60 points no sweat. Then my other big play was GSW, that was a dumb ending.

Yeah those half points really sting when you lose. I had one last night with Bucks +10.5, and they lose by 11.
