KEY GAME INFORMATION

LA CLIPPERS: LAST SEASON: 42-40, missed playoffs.
COACH: Doc Rivers (sixth season, 20th NBA season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F Tobias Harris (18.6 ppg), G Patrick Beverley (12.2 ppg), C Marcin Gortat (8.4 ppg, Washington), F Danilo Gallinari (15.3 ppg), G Avery Bradley (14.3 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: C DeAndre Jordan, F Blake Griffin, G Austin Rivers
KEY ADDITIONS: Gortat, F Luc Mbah a Moute, F Mike Scott, G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, G Jerome Robinson
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Harris will look to build on the promise he showed after coming over in the Griffin trade. Gortat takes over from the departed Jordan in the middle. Beverley, Gallinari and Bradley have the most to prove since they missed big chunks of last season.
OUTLOOK: With Jordan, Griffin and Chris Paul cleared out, the Clippers lack a star player for the first time in years. This group's biggest priority will be to stay healthy after injuries decimated the roster last season and forced Rivers to start an NBA-leading 37 different lineups. Beverley has dubbed this team "Clamp City," saying the Clippers will hang their hat on defense. They face a tough start to the schedule, with 12 of their first 14 games against teams that made the playoffs last season.

PHOENIX: LAST SEASON: 21-61, missed playoffs.
COACH: Igor Kokoskov (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Devin Booker (24.9 ppg), G Shaquille Harrison (6.6 ppg), F Trevor Ariza (11.7 ppg, Houston), F Ryan Anderson (9.3 ppg), C Deandre Ayton (rookie, 20.1 ppg at Arizona).
KEY LOSSES: F Marquese Chriss, C Alex Len, F Jared Dudley
KEY ADDITIONS: Ariza, Anderson, Ayton, G Mikhal Bridges
PLAYERS TO WATCH: First and foremost is Ayton, the 7-foot-1 multi-skilled big man chosen No. 1 overall in the draft. Kokoskov sees him as a rim protector on defense and he possesses a soft outside touch to go with bruising, athletic inside moves. The question is how he handles the much tougher world of the NBA. Also, Booker. He underwent hand surgery and missed the preseason, athough he did a lot of left-handed workouts. He wants to be back by the season opener and is anxious to prove he was worth that five-year, $158 million contract he signed in the offseason.
OUTLOOK: It's been a long time since this franchise was relevant and there is more turmoil as this season begins. Nine days before the opener, Suns owner Robert Sarver fired general manager Ryan McDonough. There is no true proven point guard on the roster and who knows whether the team can find one. The hope rests with Booker, Ayton and Josh Jackson, who will come off the bench at least initially. Kokoskov is widely respected. But it's hard to see that eight-year absence from the postseason ending anytime soon.

PREVIEW

Skidding Suns host Clippers

PHOENIX -- The Los Angeles Clippers had their way with the Phoenix Suns when it mattered most in their previous meeting this season, dominating the paint while pulling away to a 16-point victory almost two weeks ago.

Consider it part of the education of Suns center Deandre Ayton, the 7-foot piece of their future.

And although the Clippers are in a mini-skid, having lost their last two and three of their last five since stopping the Suns 115-99 on Nov. 28, the Suns have been going through much worse heading into Monday's game.

Phoenix (4-22) has lost eight in a row, 11 of 12 and is off to the worst start in franchise history.

The Clippers dominated the boards in the previous meeting in Los Angeles, rolling up a 56-34 rebounding edge.

How dominant?

Forwards Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris and center Boban Marjanovic all had double-doubles, and 6-foot-8 Montrezl Harrell played so well inside that Ayton mistook him for a player several inches taller. Ayton had a season-low four points with nine rebounds in that game.

The No. 1 pick in the 2018 draft, Ayton is averaging 15.8 points and 10.1 rebounds while shooting 59.5 percent from the field. But he been tested physically on the defensive end, and questions have arisen about his energy level.

"It's been challenging, obviously," Suns coach Igor Kokoskov told reporters.

"We put a lot of pressure on him. Expectations are high. It's not easy to carry and be a big part of any franchise in the NBA, and he's realizing how difficult it is to be that guy.

Ayton was removed four minutes into a 122-105 loss to Sacramento last Tuesday, although he was back in the lineup shortly, and he and did not start a 108-86 loss at Portland because of a stomach ailment. The Suns had nine points in the first quarter of each game.

"Every night you have to bring it," Kokoskov said. "You have to accept the challenge. It's not just guarding your man and your matchup but it's also carrying the whole team. The season is going to be a roller coaster. We understand that. But we always want to push him and ask for more."

"I guess I didn't step it up," Ayton told reporters after the Sacramento game.

Ayton had 16 points and 11 rebounds in his return to the lineup in a 115-98 loss to Miami on Friday.

"I have to be more aggressive," he told reporters.

The Clippers had scoring issues of their own in a 121-98 loss to Miami on Saturday, a day after the Heat handled the Suns.

Los Angeles was outscored 30-8 in the fourth quarter, when the Heat used a 27-2 run that drew a pair of technical fouls from Clippers coach Doc Rivers. Miami had a 58-48 rebounding edge despite playing without center Hassan Whiteside for the second game in a row.

"We played poorly," Rivers told reporters afterward. "It (technical) wasn't why we lost the game. We didn't play very well."

The Suns have continued to experiment with the starting lineup and the rotation in the absence of Booker and T.J. Warren. Booker has missed four of the last five games with a hamstring strain and Warren has missed five in row with a right ankle injury.

Warren is expected to play while Booker will sit.

Ayton, however, may sit after missing practice on Sunday with flu-like symptoms.

Suns rookie De'Anthony Melton made his first start at point guard in the loss to Miami on Friday, and reserve shooting guard Troy Daniels played a season-high 32 minutes.

Melton, obtained with Ryan Anderson from Houston in the Marquese Chriss trade, and had 12 points, four assists and four turnovers in 25 minutes against Miami. Daniels, a 3-point specialist, had a season-high 18 points and made 6-of-10 three-point attempts.

Settling on a backcourt partner for Booker has been a work in progress. Isaiah Canaan started 15 games at point before he was waived two weeks ago and rookie Elie Okobo also has made three starts. Booker stared as the nominal point six times just before his injury, with rookie Mikal Bridges as the two.

Through it all, veteran Jamal Crawford also has been used as a facilitator while teaming with Booker down the stretch. Melton drew the start ahead of Okobo against Miami.

"They both have to be ready," Kokoskov said. "We don't have a point guard. We have a "two" starting at point guard. That's how we play. That's our team, and both of them understand that."
