Game Preview
The Suns have already lost the Lakers this week, though that matchup was in Arizona and was a preseason one. After that, they opened the campaign with a victory over the LA Clippers, whom they beat following the OT 116-113.
Kevin Durant had 25 points, with seven boards, while Bradley Beal scored 24. Devin Booker was rational, ending the night with 15 buckets, six assists, and four boards. Phoenix had trouble controlling the glass, with them having just 42 boards compared to LAC’s 51.
The Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 110-103. They became the first team in NBA history to have both father and son playing together—LeBron and Bronny James. Though, the central figure of the matchup was Anthony Davis, who dominated on both ends of the court.
AD scored 36 points with 16 boards, four assists, and three blocks. He was by far the best player that night. Rui Hachimura added 18 points, LeBron 16, and Austin Reaves 12.
Suns vs. Lakers Head-to-Head
The preseason saw these two units clashing and the Lakers won after OT, 126-122.
Suns vs. Lakers Prediction
The Lakers are looking good indeed, and that’s because most of the veterans are still fresh. That and the fact that they play at home is why we picked them to win this game.
