LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Predicted Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for Mar. 4 | NBA 2024-25 Season
The LA Clippers are set to take on the Phoenix Suns in the final game of their eight-game road trip. Kevin Durant and Co. have already secured the regular season series, but the Clippers will head into tonight’s showdown at the Footprint Center determined to avoid a season sweep.
While Phoenix has won all three meetings between the teams this season, each game has been tightly contested. The average margin of victory across the games stands at just 3.6 points.
Their most recent battle took place on Jan. 27 in Arizona, where James Harden led the way for the Clippers with a 24-point, 10-assist double-double. Ivica Zubac also delivered a dominant performance, tallying 25 points and 16 rebounds, while Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard combined for 41 points.
Despite the strong display from the starting unit, the Clippers’ bench struggled to contribute. They combined for just eight points with three reserves being held scoreless.
On the other side, Phoenix leaned on its star duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, who combined for 50 points and 13 assists, helping the Suns extend their winning streak to three games.
With Ty Lue’s side missing several crucial pieces for tonight’s clash, the No. 11 Suns should be favored to win and move closer to the play-in territory.
