Valley vs. San Diego

SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — The San Diego Clippers will look to complete a quick two-game home sweep of the Valley Suns when the G League teams meet again at Frontwave Arena on Saturday.

The Clippers (25-22) dominated the first matchup 113-87 on Thursday night, exploiting a sluggish Suns squad that has lost eight of its last ten games. Valley (13-34) arrives with the worst record in the Western Conference, while San Diego sits in the playoff hunt.

A key rematch within the game will be at power forward, where Valley’s C.J. Huntley and San Diego’s Norchad Omier are both coming off double-doubles. Huntley, the Suns’ most consistent performer, posted 18 points and 15 rebounds in Thursday’s loss. Over his last ten games, he is averaging a robust 19.3 points and 13.2 rebounds.

Omier controlled the paint for the Clippers on Thursday, though his final stat line was not recorded in the provided information. In his previous outing, a March 16 loss at Texas, the forward hauled in a career-high 22 rebounds to go with 19 points. His physical presence inside has been a catalyst for San Diego’s success.

The season series stands at 2-1 in favor of the Clippers. San Diego won the first two meetings in December before Valley snapped the streak with a 121-118 home victory on Dec. 11. The Suns will need a similar offensive outburst to counter the Clippers’ momentum, having failed to crack 100 points in the last two head-to-head contests.

For Valley, stopping the recent slide is paramount before heading home for a two-game set against Mexico City next week. San Diego, meanwhile, aims to build a winning streak before hosting Stockton next weekend.

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. PDT Saturday at Frontwave Arena.
