Pre-match analysis
The Clippers have a 50-28 record before the game, four games ahead of the sixth-ranked Suns (46-32), and with the final four games left in the season, winning or losing this game will have little impact on the Clippers, and the standings will not have an impact.
Even if the Clippers lose two games in a row to the Suns, as long as they can win the last two games at home, the Jazz and Rockets will end up in fourth place in the West.
On the other hand, the situation of the Suns is different, the current Suns and Pelicans have the same record, both 46-32, and each of the next games is a game that they can't afford to lose, if the Suns lose a game, they may be overtaken by the Pelicans and Kings behind them, and miss the top 6 in the West.
