Last Sunday, the Phoenix Suns (38-33, 37-33-1 ATS) lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-120. It was Phoenix’s fourth loss in the past five games, and they are fourth in the Western Conference standings, 0.5 wins ahead of the Los Angeles Clippers. Phoenix is 15-21 on the road this season and has lost its last two road games.
The Los Angeles Lakers (35-37, 34-37-1 ATS) snapped a two-game losing streak with a 111-105 victory over the Orlando Magic on Sunday. Los Angeles is outside the playoffs, 0.5 games behind Minnesota, Oklahoma City, and Utah. The Lakers lead 19-17 at home.
Over the past few seasons, the Phoenix Suns have dominated the Los Angeles Lakers, winning nine straight. However, they have struggled in this one, losing four of their last five, and have struggled defensively in that time, scoring at least three of those five games lost 123 points. They allow 113 or more in all five.
Los Angeles is a team that plays more offensively than defensively, but the Suns could be a better offensive club. Los Angeles could use their gifted offense to lead the way. Eight of the Lakers’ past nine opponents have scored at least 110 points.
