The Phoenix Suns are the better team on paper, but they've been in a funk recently, and that includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 6.6 points. The Los Angeles Lakers have played their best ball over the last couple of weeks, and they're showing more of a sense of urgency. The Lakers simply need to win games if they're going to clinch a playoff spot or even get into the play-in tournament. The Lakers are running out of time. Give me the free bucket with the more desperate team.
