Suns vs. Lakers Preview

The Suns are ready to go, and their top stars should be available to play in Palm Springs. We’ve seen both Booker and Durant in action these days. Head coach Mike Budenholzer surely wants to see his team clicking in right away.

All the top stars are still present, and some experienced role-players like Mason Plumlee, Monte Morris, and Damion Lee were added during this free agency. So, all in all, the Suns will be contenders for winning the West.

The Lakers lost to the Timberwolves, 124-107, on Friday, and that was because of a terrible opening and closing quarter. LeBron and AD didn’t play, but they should appear in this one.

Austin Reaves had 16 points with seven assists, while D’Angelo Russell scored 14 buckets. The Lakers had massive problems under the rim on the offensive side of the ball, with their big players failing to score when needed.

Suns vs. Lakers Head to Head

The two franchises played five games the previous year. The Lakers won the first three and the Suns last two.

Suns vs. Lakers Prediction

Despite the media narrative, we believe the Lakers aren’t among the top four teams in the West. They aren’t among the top 8 if you ask us. So we take Durant and the boys to win.

  • Suns vs. Lakers pick: Suns win
