Phoenix Suns Form

Phoenix come into this matchup in need of a victory after three defeats in their last four games.

The Suns struggled for much of December, stacking up a bunch of losses, but finished 2023 in promising fashion.

They started a four-game win streak with a 129-113 in Houston, which was followed by a 133-119 victory over Charlotte and a 109-88 win against Orlando.

Phoenix made it four-in-a-row as they won their first game of 2024, beating Portland 109-88, but they have struggled since then.

The Suns lost 131-122 to the LA Clippers, and then failed to back up a 113-97 victory over Miami as they lost 121-115 to Memphis and 138-111 to the Clippers.

Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles will look to win three straight games for the first time since early December when they step out onto the court for this one.

The Lakers lost nine times in 11 games during a rough run that started in the second half of December.

They ended 2023 with a 108-106 defeat in Minnesota, followed by a 129-109 loss when they visited New Orleans.

Los Angeles them started 2024 with a 110-96 defeat to Miami, before suffering a 127-113 defeat at the hands of Memphis.

The Lakers appear to have got back on track in recent days though, following up a 106-103 over the LA Clippers with a 132-131 victory against Toronto.

Verdict

Los Angeles have had Phoenix's number this season and that trend is backed to continue in this latest meeting.
