The Phoenix Suns have been winning and covering games dating back to the NBA Bubble, and now they got Booker back in the mix, which only makes them stronger. The Los Angeles Lakers are losing players left and right, and while they're keeping their head above water, it makes them tough to back against respectable teams. The Suns are winning their last five games by an average of 12 points while allowing 43.2 percent shooting from the field. Even on the road, I have to lay the chalk here with the Suns.
