Both teams are over machines in the last ten games. Lakers are 7-3 to the over and Suns are 6-4 to it. Suns have played the better basketball as of late, seemingly becoming more connected in terms of chemistry, while the Lakers lost to the Clippers simply due to a bad scheduling on a back to back. A days rest and a home matchup should give them a boost. Suns stars don't need to play this game, as they are entrenched into the 4 seed, but LeBron and AD must play today to prevent being a Play In team. That just means they will need to put up points on this weak suns defense, as they do not have anyone to stop AD and LeBron, while LA doesn't have anyone to contain Booker and KD. It's going to be a shootout of high magnitude and neither are great 3pt defenders as we seen last game LA vs LAC and it's also a plus for the Lakers that Phoenix just played last night.
