Los Angeles Lakers Team News

The Lakers have caught the rhythm and are playing better and better. In the last ten games, they recorded 6 victories, reached a score of 12-9, and joined the fight for the very top in the West after a very bad start to the season. They made it to the quarterfinals of the NBA Cup as the first-placed team in Group A, where they recorded all 4 victories. The Lakers and the Suns met twice this season, and the Lakers were more successful both times. What will be especially interesting is the duel between Lebron James and Kevin Durant. The Lakers play in a fairly short rotation with 8 players, which can be a big problem in a rather long season. It should be taken into account that four very important players in the rotation of the Lakers are injured and that the rotation will be expanded when Hachimura and company recover and return to the floor.

Lebron James is the absolute leader of the team, he is always ready to take responsibility when the game is decided. He is already in his late playing years, so younger guys are expected to take on more responsibility during the regular part of the season, first of all, we are thinking of Reaves and Wood, on whom the outcome of the duel with the Suns will depend a lot.

Locked in and locked down on D.

Phoenix Suns Team News

This season, the Suns will not be able to connect a couple of games in the complete lineup and show their full potential. In this match, there will be no Beal, who has played only three games this season and is struggling with a back injury, in addition to Beal, Eric Gordon, who is one of the very important factors in the Suns’ game, will most likely not to be in the lineup, especially in that “reserve” fives.

The Suns are 12-8, and we believe they will be even better as the season progresses. They have a huge offensive potential and can easily score over 130 points against every team in the league. Durant is averaging 30 points, while Booker is averaging 27 points. The biggest weakness for the Suns is the width and quality of the support staff and the drop in play when the reserves enter.

This season they played two matches against the Lakers and were defeated both times, and we believe that they will be maximally focused in this match to end the bad streak against the Lakers. Jusuf Nurkic has been playing great lately, scoring 31 points against the Nuggets, but everything in the Suns’ game depends on the duo of Booker and Durant, who will have to improve their averages for the Suns to hope for a favorable result against the Lakers. In the last match, they beat the Grizzlies by seven points, and Booker dominated with 34 points, while Durant added 27 points.

TOMORROW.
