Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix Suns Preview & Picks
Los Angeles are tipped to cover as they win on the road in Phoenix.
The Lakers are the healthier team right now, with the Suns missing some key talent, and the home team are also on a miserable run that LeBron & Co. can take advantage of.
- Phoenix Suns are 3-7 in their last 10 games
- Los Angeles Lakers are 5-3 in their last 8 road games
- The Under has cashed in 4 of the last 5 meetings in Phoenix
- The Under has hit in each of Phoenix’s previous 2 games
Head To Head
- Los Angeles Lakers lead the all-time series 194-149
- Phoenix Suns won 132-108 when the two teams last met on December 23
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles arrive on an inconsistent run of form, having split the 10 games they have played in February so far.
The Lakers began the month with a 112-100 defeat in New York, but rebounded to wrap up that road trip with a 125-109 victory in Brooklyn.
They backed that up at home as the beat Philadelphia 119-115 and Golden State 105-99, only to then lose back-to-back games, falling 119-110 to Oklahoma City and 136-108 to San Antonio.
Los Angeles avoided a third straight loss as they downed Dallas 124-104, and they followed that up with a 125-122 success when they hosted the LA Clippers.
The Lakers have not won since though, wrapping up that home stand with defeats to Boston, 111-89, and Orlando, 110-109.
Phoenix Suns Form
Phoenix enter this matchup having endured a miserable run in February so far, losing seven of their 10 games so far this month.
The Suns began the month by rebounding from a 117-93 defeat to the LA Clippers with a 130-125 victory in Portland.
They failed to follow that up as they fell 101-97 to Golden State and 109-103 to Philadelphia, but they did avoid a third straight loss as they beat Dallas 120-111.
Phoenix were again unable to back up a victory as they lost 136-109 to Oklahoma and 121-94 on the road in San Antonio, but they again avoided a third straight loss as they beat Orlando 113-110 in double overtime.
The Suns have dropped their last too though, falling 92-77 to Portland and 97-81 to Boston.
Verdict
Neither team is in great form heading into this, but Los Angeles are the much healthier group.
They have picked up a bunch of road wins recently too, so give us the Lakers on the road.
