Seems like Lakers are far from the end of their crisis. It is uncertain, whether they will be able to gain form before the start of regular season. Lakers are still terrible on the offense. We are not expecting a victory from them in the match against Phoenix.
Our prediction - Handicap (-2) points on Phoenix
In the previous season Phoenix Suns were known as a great defensive team. Monty Williams' men will probably pick a defensive approach for the match against the Lakers. Los Angeles team is unlikely to score many points today.
