Tonight's Suns vs Clippers live stream is here and it is hoped that Los Angeles will get back into this series Meanwhile, Phoenix is set to get their veteran point guard back in time for this NBA playoff live stream

After the first two games of this Western Conference Finals, the Phoenix Suns went into the locker room to enjoy their win Each time, they FaceTimed with teammate Chris Paul, who is away during the league's COVID protocolThursday night, Paul is there in personYahoo Sports reports that the 36-year-old will return to the team and play in Game 3

Cameron Payne has played well in Paul's place for the Suns, but nothing beats the presence of a player who played in 119 playoff games and just finished the best playoff series of his long career In the previous round against the Jazz, Paul averaged 25 points and 10 assists per game to lead the Suns to a sweep In the final game of the series, he scored 37 points, the second most in his playoff career

While the Suns gain momentum with Paul's return, the Clippers are still waiting on Kawhi Leonard The Clippers have been two games down in every series this postseason, but each time they have found a way to close the gap The only difference in this series is that Leonard will not get the shovel; the two-time Finals MVP is sidelined with a sprained knee

The Clippers have relied heavily on Paul George in Leonard's absence, and the 10-year veteran has filled the void admirably However, he is coming up on the rough end of the second round George missed two crucial free throws that would have extended Los Angeles' lead to three points with eight seconds left in the game Instead, the Suns went to the other end of the floor and scored a miraculous final dunk off an inbounds pass from Jae Crowder to Deandreia Ayton to give the Suns a 104-103 win

Los Angeles enters Game 3 as a 1-point home underdog The over/under is 2195
