What to Know

The Los Angeles Clippers are 15-3 against the Phoenix Suns since November of 2015, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Los Angeles and Phoenix will face off in a Pacific Division battle at 9 p.m. ET at Talking Stick Resort Arena. Both teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.

If there were any doubts why Los Angeles was a heavy favorite Monday, the team quickly laid those doubts to rest. They were the clear victors by a 124-97 margin over the Memphis Grizzlies. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 66-37. It was another big night for the Clippers' small forward Kawhi Leonard, who had 25 points along with eight boards.

Meanwhile, it was all tied up 62-62 at the half for the Suns and the Utah Jazz on Monday, but the Suns stepped up in the second half for a cozy 131-111 win. Point guard Ricky Rubio gave his former team something to remember him by as he dropped a double-double on 22 points and 11 dimes in addition to seven steals for Phoenix.

The wins brought Los Angeles up to 38-19 and Phoenix to 24-34. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Los Angeles ranks second in the league when it comes to fouls drawn per game, with 22.9 on average. But Phoenix is even better: they come into the matchup boasting the most fouls drawn per game in the league at 23. We'll see if that edge gives Phoenix a route to victory.
