Suns vs Clippers Player Props: Picks, Predictions & Best Bets (Nov 7)

• With stars Kawhi Leonard and James Harden out, the betting line has swung dramatically, making the Suns -142 favorites after they opened as +164 underdogs.
• The Suns’ elite three-point shooting (15.9 made threes per game) directly targets the Clippers’ biggest flaw—a perimeter defense that allows opponents to shoot 39.4% from deep.
• Phoenix’s severe weakness on the glass, where they allow 12.9 offensive rebounds per game, creates a prime opportunity for Ivica Zubac to exceed his rebounding prop.

The shorthanded LA Clippers (3-4, 0-2 away, 1-6 ATS, 5-2 O/U) visit the Phoenix Suns (3-5, 3-1 home, 4-4 ATS, 5-3 O/U) at Mortgage Matchup Center on Thursday night at 8:00 pm MT/10:00 pm ET with NBA TV providing the broadcast coverage.

Yet to win on the road this season, the Clippers arrive severely shorthanded: James Harden and Kawhi Leonard are both sidelined, putting the burden on role players to step up in a hostile environment. Ivica Zubac anchors the paint for LA and could see increased usage with the team’s primary scorers unavailable.

Below, I have set out the main Suns vs Clippers player props and the top prop picks to bet.

Suns vs Clippers Player Props & Betting Lines

The odds in table represent consensus lines as of 9:45 am ET, November 6. Bookmark SBD’s NBA props page to see up-to-the-minute NBA player points odds, NBA rebound odds and more.

Devin Booker (31.0 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 7.0 APG) has the highest point (27.5 O/U) total and assist total (6.5 O/U) on the board. His three-point prop of 2.5 carries heavy juice on the under (-172), suggesting books expect him to attack the paint against LA’s compromised defense.

Ivica Zubac (13.1 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 2.4 APG) has the highest rebounding line by a wide margin at 11.5 O/U. No other player is over 4.5.

Bradley Beal (8.0 PPG, 1.0 RPG, 1.5 APG) has a rebound prop of 3.5 but it’s heavily juiced to the over (-154), signaling an expectation that he’ll crash the defensive boards with increased frequency in an expanded role with Harden and Leonard both out.

Injury Report Reshapes Betting Landscape

The availability report has fundamentally altered this matchup, transforming what appeared to be a competitive battle into a potential mismatch favoring the home team.

LA Clippers Injuries

The Clippers have multiple key contributors sidelined:

• Kawhi Leonard (F): Out (Load Management)
• James Harden (G): Out (Personal Reasons)
• Jordan Miller (G): Out (Hamstring)
• Kobe Sanders (G): Out (Knee)

Leonard and Harden’s absence removes approximately 45 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds from LA’s statistical production. This creates a massive void in both offensive creation and defensive versatility, forcing inexperienced players into expanded roles against a motivated home team.

Phoenix Suns Injuries

The Suns will be without two would-be starters on Thursday night:

• Dillon Brooks (G-F): Out (Groin)
• Jalen Green (G): Probable (Hamstring)

Brooks’ defensive presence will be missed, and he was averaging 19.3 PPG in his first three games of the new season. Green has yet to suit up for the Suns this year after averaging 21.0 PPG, 4.6 RPg, and 3.4 APG with Houston last season.

Clippers vs Sune: Best Player Prop Predictions & Picks

Royce O’Neale Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+120) at Underdog

This pick targets the Clippers’ most-exploitable weakness while capitalizing on O’Neale’s home-court hot streak. LAC’s perimeter defense is allowing opponents to shoot 39.4% from three, an ideal environment for Phoenix’s role players to exceed their typical production.

O’Neale has been exceptional from deep at Footprint Center, hitting 48.4% of his three-point attempts in four home games while averaging 3.8 threes per game.

With the Clippers’ defensive attention focused on containing Booker and Beal, O’Neale should see numerous clean looks in catch-and-shoot situations. His season average of 3.4 made threes on 8.1 attempts indicates both the volume and efficiency needed to clear this modest line against compromised perimeter coverage.

Ivica Zubac Over 10.5 Total Rebounds (-109) at Underdog

As with the O’Neale bet, this play fades Phoenix’s biggest weakness while capitalizing on Zubac’s expanded role in the Clippers’ depleted rotation. The Suns’ inability to control the defensive glass creates tons of rebounding opportunities for opposing centers.

Zubac is averaging 11.2 rebounds per game over his last five, including 3.4 offensive boards per game. With Harden and Leonard unavailable, LA’s offense will likely produce more missed shots, creating additional rebounding chances on both ends of the floor.

Phoenix allows 12.9 offensive rebounds per game while posting just 48.9% team rebounding percentage. Zubac’s 2.9 offensive rebounds per game average directly attacks this vulnerability, while his defensive positioning should benefit from increased missed shots in a lower-scoring contest.
