A few notes to consider in this matchup. First, the Suns have not been a good road team this season. Away from Phoenix, the Suns are just 15-21. Second, both Kevin Durant and Deandre Ayton will miss this game. The Lakers won’t have LeBron James, but it’s worth considering their defensive rating has been better since LeBron has been out. The Lakers have the best defensive rating in the NBA over the last month. Anthony Davis has a favorable matchup in the paint tonight with Deandre Ayton out. Our last note, the Lakers currently sit in the #11 spot within the Western Conference. Every game moving forward for LA will be played like a must win. We will take the +1.5 with the home underdogs.
