The Phoenix Suns have been the best team in the NBA all season long and recently picking up win No. 63 on the season, they have set a new franchise record for wins in a season.

Devin Booker and Chris Paul have led this very talented two-way team all year long and coming off their win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, they will be tested against a Los Angeles Clippers team that could still make some noise via the play-in tournament in the Western Conference.

Paul George is back from his elbow injury that sidelined him for nearly three months and with all of their experienced players, the Clippers are not a team to be overlooked late in the year.

Many tend to forget that this team was in the Western Conference Finals a season ago and while they may be without Kawhi Leonard, this is still one of the better defensive teams in the league when at full-strength.

Already picking up a win over the Suns earlier this season, the Clippers have proven that they can fight with the league’s best team and on Wednesday night, they will be looking for a statement win in front of their home fans.
