Teams are about to face each other for a third time in the current season. Two previous head-to-head matches, which were held on mid-December, ended with almost identical score - 112:95 and 111:95. Both games were won by Phoenix. Clippers will surely try to finally end this losing streak. But home advantage and superb form should help Phoenix to win another game.
