Bet on the home team to take the series lead in game three. Phoenix is 17-24 SU on the road this season and won't hit nearly 60 percent of their field goals, as they did in game two. LA will win with its rebounding advantage and with Kawhi Leonard continuing his elite play, outshining the stars on the Suns. The Klaw has taken his game to another level since the All-Star break, averaging 27.1 PPG and 47% from three in 18 games. He's as talented as anyone on this planet, and he's playing like it. X-factor Russell Westbrook will also stand out with his signature mix of hustle, passion, and playmaking ability.

LA is confident it can win this series and that will be evident again on Thursday. At plus odds, there is value in the Clippers to win straight-up.
