The LA Clippers look to lock down a guaranteed playoff spot Sunday afternoon when they had to Phoenix to take on the Suns. The Clippers sit 6th in the West, but they have the Lakers breathing down their neck, while the Suns are fourth at 45-36. The Suns have taken two out of three from the Clippers this season. Tipoff is at 3:30 p.m. EDT at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
The LA Clippers come into this final game still with something to play for. They are in a dogfight with Golden State and the Lakers for the final two guaranteed playoff spots in the Western Conference. One of them will be pushed into the play-in tournament.

The Clippers hold the tiebreaker over the Lakers as they are 4-0 head-to-head against their crosstown rivals, but they need to win to lock that final guaranteed playoff spot up. But they also have an outside shot of catching the Warriors, so you should expect a full throttled effort from the Clippers on Sunday afternoon.
