Phoenix’s top scorer meets a Clippers team leaning heavily on Darius Garland as both sides look to climb from losing records.
The Suns host the Clippers Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET, with Phoenix at 3-6 and 21st in the power index and Los Angeles at 2-7 and 22nd. Devin Booker has 234 points through nine games, while Darius Garland has 191 points and 63 assists for a Clippers offense averaging 112.4 points per game. Garland’s playmaking comes with 45 turnovers, and the Suns will look to turn those mistakes into chances against a defense allowing 119 points per game. Phoenix must also account for Brook Lopez, who has 128 points and nine blocks, as the Clippers seek to protect a thin attack without Bradley Beal and Brandon Ingram.
