The Phoenix Suns will host the Los Angeles Lakers at the Mortgage Matchup Centre in the NBA on Thursday night. The Suns (33-26) are seventh in the Western Conference standings, while the Lakers (34-23) are sixth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Phoenix Suns are enduring a tough run, now 3-7 in their last 10 games after a crushing 97-81 defeat to the Boston Celtics at this venue on Tuesday night.
While the Suns are still two wins ahead of the Warriors, they have now had their two worst offensive performances in back-to-back games, having only scored 77 points in their previous match against the Blazers.
Phoenix’s dip has coincided with the absence of two of their best players in Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks, both of whom will not play tonight as well, along with Cole Anthony and Haywood Highsmith.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have also not been at their best of late, losing their fourth game in six, 110-190 to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.
The most concerning thing for the Lakers is that all six of those games were at home, and they had almost their entire roster available. Luka Doncic was the only player to score 20+ points against Orlando.
The Lakers are 18-11 on the road, but have lost two of their three games against this opponent this season. Rui Hachimura is questionable.
