Lakers vs. Suns
The Lakers are struggling right now. The starting lineup, outside Anthony Davis, looked lost against the Warriors in a 111-97 defeat. Rui Hachimura shot 5-for-14, LeBron James went 3-for-9, D'Angelo Russell shot 2-for-10, and Austin Reaves went 3-for-8 in limited time. Dalton Knecht will eventually start for the Lakers. He's the only bright spot on the bench. Meanwhile, the Suns’ second unit took it to Denver's first unit and added a 118-114 win over the Nuggets on the road. No matter who plays tonight's game for the Suns, you can trust they'll have more depth and potential down the stretch. Give me the Suns at -5.5 (-105).
Pick: Suns -5.5 (-105)
