Preview:
The 26-7 Lake Show host the 13-20 Suns here, currently laying 11 points. I’d expect all of LA’s key players to play here, meaning they’re good value to cover against the falling Suns.
Phoenix have fallen off a cliff of late, winning just 2 of their last 10 and covering only 4 times over that same period. LA remain one of the better home sides in the NBA, compiling an 11-4 record so far.
I think they’ve got some pretty significant matchup advantages here, particularly in the frontcourt. As solid as Kelly Oubre has been this season, he just isn’t a quality matchup for LeBron James.
As far as the starting lineups go, they’ll probably have Saric matched up on AD in the early going. This is another very poor matchup, one which I’d expect to be exploited early and often.
Without Ayton and Kaminsky, the depth of Phoenix’s front court will surely be tested here. The big and athletic Lakers are one of their worst matchups in the league and I’d expect them to lose pretty comfortably.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Lakers at $1.13
