The Clippers vs Suns live stream is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT today (Tuesday, June 22).
It will air on ESPN, which is available on Sling TV, currently on sale down to $10 for the first month.

The Clippers vs Suns live stream for game 2 is here to continue to test both squads ability to adjust. Tonight all eyes are on Paul George and Devin Booker, as they may not be the players we expected to lead these teams, they are the ones seemingly taking that role in pushing their teams another win closer to a championship appearance in this NBA playoffs live stream.

The playoffs are where your stars are supposed to shine the brightest. Game 1 of this Western Conference Final was certainly an example of that. Now the Clippers and Suns are hoping for more of the same in Tuesday nights’ Game 2. 

Phoenix is still down Chris Paul as the veteran guard is in the NBA’s COVID protocol. No word when the Suns can expect his return. In Paul’s absence, Devin Booker dominated, especially in the second half of Game 1 scoring 29 of his game-high 40 points. Booker exploded for 18 points in the third quarter alone. In total the 24-year-old recorded his first career triple-double as he pulled down 13 rebounds and dished out 11 assists in the Suns’ 120-114 Game 1 win. Cameron Payne filled in admirably for Paul as Phoenix’ point guard. Payne scored 11 points with 9 assists in 29 minutes played with just one turnover.

The Clippers are still without Kawhi Leonard who will likely miss his fourth straight game of the playoffs Tuesday night due to a right knee sprain. Again, Los Angeles will rely on Paul George. Over the last 3 games, George has risen to the occasion averaging 33 points-per-game, 12 points more than his career postseason average. In Game 1, while Booker was going off in the third quarter, George was keeping L.A. in the game scoring 15 of his team-high 34 points in the quarter.

The Suns are a 6-point favorite in Game 2. The over/under is 224.

In the U.S. Clippers vs Suns airs on ESPN, tipping off at 9:00 p.m. ET today (Tuesday, June 22).

If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you'll be able to get this game on YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and FuboTV. But if you're trying to pick a new service for the NBA Playoffs, don't go with Fubo: it doesn't have TNT.

ESPN and TNT are both included in the Sling Orange package, which costs $35. Sling will be a perfect place to watch all of the NBA playoffs, as Sling Orange gets you TNT, ESPN, ESPN3, and its Sports Extra pack gets you NBA TV.

We recommend you go with Sling, one of the best streaming services, even though it doesn't have ABC (though you can get it with one of the best TV antennas). ABC's playoff games will be simulcast on ESPN3.
