Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Clippers
PREVIEW: The Phoenix Suns host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, November 6, 2025, with the Suns favored by 2.5 points in this Pacific Division rematch. The Clippers will be without James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, two of their most important offensive weapons. Devin Booker has been exceptional this season, averaging 31 points, 7.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per night. The Suns rank fourth in high-frequency three-point shooting while posting an efficient 3-point percentage, yet defensively they rank 26th in rebounding and 28th in turnover rate.
Phoenix performs dramatically better at home, sporting a 3-1 record with a plus-8.5 net rating compared to a troubling minus-15.7 on the road. The Clippers struggle with defensive spacing, ranking 26th in rim attacks allowed and 30th in overall tempo, though they do rank first in post-up shot frequency. Los Angeles enters as the worst team in the NBA in net rating on the road at minus-21.1, making this road trip particularly challenging without their star duo. Jalen Green is listed as probable for the Suns after missing time with a hamstring injury, and he averaged 21.0 points per game last season, which could provide Phoenix with much-needed scoring depth.
