- Phoenix Suns are 2-8-0 ATS in their previous 10 games
- The Under cashed in 4 of the 5 meetings last season

- Phoenix Suns won 123-113 when the two teams last met on February 25
Phoenix Suns Form
Phoenix remain in Los Angeles as they attempt to make a 2-0 start to the regular season.
The Suns, who lost in the first round of last season’s playoffs, ruined the LA Clippers’ first competitive outing at the Intuit Dome on Wednesday night.
They made hard work of that victory though, as they needed beat the Clippers 116-113.
Phoenix went into that game on the back of a pre-season that saw them go 3-2, starting with road wins over the Lakers, 118-114, and Detroit, 105-97.
The Suns then sandwiched a 118-114 victory in Denver with home defeats to Detroit, 109-91, and the Lakers, 128-122 (OT).
Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles will look to make it back-to-back home wins to start the 2024/25 regular season.
The Lakers, who also bowed out of the playoffs in the first round last season, opened the campaign against Minnesota on Tuesday night.
They ran out 110-103 winners on a historic night where LeBron James and Bronny James became the first father-son combination to play in an NBA game.
Los Angeles went into that opening game having compiled a 2-4 record during the pre-season, which included two meetings with Phoenix.
The Lakers were beaten 118-114 when they hosted the Suns, before heading to Phoenix to win 128-122 in overtime.
Verdict
Los Angeles impressed as they took down a contender on opening night, while Phoenix underwhelmed as they scraped past a short-handed Clippers team.
The Suns struggled at the defensive end of the court in that one, and that is something LA can now exploit.
