LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Picks and Prediction for Tuesday November 10 2026

The Clippers head to Phoenix on Tuesday night for a 9 PM ET game against the Suns at Mortgage Matchup Center. Los Angeles finally snapped its seven-game losing streak Sunday, beating New Orleans 139-123. Phoenix has been playing better lately, too, including a 102-99 win over Houston on Saturday. At the time of this writing the odds were not released. I’m leaning toward the Suns at home. The Clippers finally got a win, but one good night doesn’t erase everything that happened during that losing streak. Get ready for all the action with our free NBA picks.

The Clippers Finally Found Some Offense

Los Angeles is 2-7 after beating New Orleans on Sunday. The Clippers had lost seven straight before that, and some of those losses were pretty frustrating. They’d build a lead, then watch it disappear late. Against the Pelicans, they finally finished the job. Los Angeles scored 139 points, shot 54.8% from the floor, and made 42.1% of its threes. That’s a heck of a night offensively.

The Clippers have been averaging around 109 points per game and allowing roughly 116. Those numbers explain why they’ve been struggling. The offense hasn’t been consistent, and the defense has been giving up too many good looks. Sunday’s performance was encouraging, but I’d be careful about assuming they’re suddenly going to score 130 every night. Phoenix has been playing better defense lately, and the Suns should make Los Angeles work harder for its baskets.

Darius Garland had 24 points and ten assists against New Orleans, while Brook Lopez added 20. That’s the kind of production the Clippers need. They also got useful contributions from their younger players. Isaiah Jackson has been dealing with a groin injury, and Brandon Ingram has been working toward his debut after a heel issue. Los Angeles needs to protect the ball the way it did Sunday, when it committed only 11 turnovers. If the Clippers go back to their old habits, Phoenix will make them pay.

Phoenix Has Been Finding Ways to Win

Phoenix is 3-5 after beating Houston 102-99 on Saturday. The Suns also beat Orlando 117-104 earlier in the week. That’s two wins in their last three games, and they’ve been showing some improvement defensively. Phoenix hasn’t been a particularly consistent team, but the Suns have been more competitive lately. Playing at home should help.

The Suns have been averaging around 114 points per game and allowing more than 120. That’s not good enough defensively, and it’s been the biggest problem early in the season. But Phoenix just held Houston to 99 points, which is encouraging. The Clippers have been struggling offensively for most of the season, so the Suns have a chance to build on that performance. They need to keep Los Angeles from getting the same open looks it found against New Orleans.

Phoenix needs to control the glass and avoid giving the Clippers second chances. Los Angeles has enough shooting to make things uncomfortable if it gets hot, but the Suns should be able to take advantage of the Clippers’ defensive problems. Phoenix also needs to stay disciplined late. This isn’t a team that’s been winning comfortably every night, and the Clippers just showed they can score when everything is working.

LA Clippers vs Phoenix Suns Picks and Prediction

Moneyline Pick: Phoenix Suns

I’m taking Phoenix at home. The Clippers finally won a game, and I give them credit for it. Scoring 139 against New Orleans was impressive. But Los Angeles had lost seven straight before that, and I’m not ready to believe one hot shooting night fixes everything. Phoenix has won two of its last three, and the Suns just held Houston to 99 points. The Clippers haven’t won on the road yet, either. That’s enough for me to lean toward Phoenix.

Total Pick: Under — Pending Posted Line

I lean under, but the actual number matters. Los Angeles just scored 139, so there’s an obvious argument for the over. The Clippers shot nearly 55% against New Orleans, though, and that’s not something I’d expect them to repeat every night. Phoenix has been defending better lately, and I think the Suns will try to keep this from turning into another wild offensive game. Something around 113-108 feels reasonable. I’d want to see a verified total comfortably above that projection before betting the under.
