It's time for the Clippers vs Suns live stream to officially mark the start of the Western Conference Finals. That said, a lot has happened since Phoenix knocked out the Nuggets with a sweep. The Clippers have had a few games to adjust to their injuries, while the Suns had had some time to figure it out before this NBA playoffs live stream.
Chris Paul had been on a tear this postseason. The 36-year old was coming off a sweep of the Nuggets where he averaged 25.5 points and 10.3 assists-per-game. Now his postseason is on hold. Wednesday morning news broke that Paul entered the league’s COVID protocol, sideling him indefinitely. With Paul out, the Suns will have to rely on Cameron Payne who has played well as Paul’s back-up throughout the playoffs. The 26-year-old Payne is averaging 10 points in 20 minutes-per-game in the playoffs.

The Clippers have already had to adjust to life without a star in the playoffs. Since learning of Kawhi Leonard's ACL injury that has him out indefinitely, L.A. has been leaning on Paul George. The seven-time all-star scored 30 or more points in three straight games against the Jazz before helping to close out that series with a 28-point night.
The Suns go into Game 1 having not played in a week as they awaited their opponent, while the Clippers wrapped up their seven-game-series with Utah Friday night. Phoenix is a 4.5-point favorite in Game 1. The over/under is 221.5.
How to avoid Clippers vs Suns blackouts with a VPN
If you've had to leave your own "bubble" -- or you've been hit by a dreaded local blackout -- and you can't watch Clippers vs Suns live streams on cable, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service. But you've got other VPN options as well. Here are our top picks.
Clippers vs Suns live streams in the US
In the U.S. Clippers vs Suns airs on ABC and ESPN3, tipping off at 3:30 p.m. ET. today.
If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you'll be able to get this game on Sling TV (we love FuboTV for a lot of sports, but 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 ABC games will simulcast on ESPN3, and Sling Orange gets you TNT, ESPN, ESPN3, and its Sports Extra pack gets you NBA TV.
Sling and Fubo are two of the picks on our best streaming services list, but we go with Sling here even though it doesn't have ABC (though you can get it with one of the best TV antennas), as those games will be on ESPN3.
