The Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns collide at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Sunday night.

Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview 

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on fire to start the season as they’ve won 11 of their first 13 games and they are now looking to build on their current seven-game win streak after blowing past the Bucks in a 123-112 road win on Wednesday. Luka Doncic led the team with 32 points, five rebounds and five assists on 10 of 25 shooting, Sandro Mamukelashvili provided the spark off the bench with 23 points on nine of 15 shooting while Austin Reaves chipped in with 18 points and five assists. As a team, the Lakers shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 40 from the 3-point line as they got off to a solid start with 61 points in the first half to take an 11-point lead into halftime and they didn’t ease off until the lead had already ballooned to 24 points.

Phoenix Suns Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns look to have moved on from their slow start to the season as they have now won four of their last five games overall and they will be gunning for a third straight victory after beating the Hornets in a 101-96 win on Thursday. Devin Booker led the team with 30 points and seven assists, Dillon Brooks added 15 points while Collin Gillespie chipped in with 13 points off the bench. As a team, the Suns shot just 41 percent from the field and 13 of 43 from the 3-point line as they wasted an early 17-point lead and looked like they could be in trouble, before their defense saved the day as they restricted the Hornets to just 10 points in the final 5:56 of the game to escape with the narrow win in the end.

Los Angeles v Phoenix Free Prediction

The Lakers are keeping an eye on Collin Sexton who is questionable and they have ruled out Austin Reaves, while the Suns are still missing Mark Williams.

The Lakers enter this contest as one of the hottest teams in the league and they are still road favorites despite missing their second leading scorer in Reaves which is a big loss. The Suns look like a different team to the one that started the season so poorly, but they were far from convincing in their narrow win over the lowly Hornets in their last outing. You could make an argument for either side here, but Doncic has been on fire for the Lakers and I prefer a play on the Lakers with such a short line.

Peter Tran's Pick: Los Angeles -2.5
