The LA Clippers will take on the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in what will be the team’s last game of a three-game road trip. Los Angeles is 1-1 over this stretch but has otherwise been in stellar form lately.
The team has gone from being 6-21 near the end of December to holding 10th place in the Western Conference ahead of the All-Star break. The Clippers are 22-25 and are within reach of a .500 record.
Los Angeles’ turnaround can be attributed to Kawhi Leonard and James Harden’s solid play. Leonard leads the team in scoring, averaging 27.7 points with 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. Harden is averaging 25.4 ppg, 5.8 rpg and 8.1 apg.
The Suns (30-19) have also surprised many this season and in seventh place in a tightly contested Western Conference. Not many expected the team to be in the playoff conversation after they traded Kevin Durant in the summer.
Devin Booker has led the charge for Phoenix, averaging 25.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg and 6.2 apg. Dillon Brooks has emerged as the team’s second option, recording 21.1 ppg and 3.6 apg.
