Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Suns are getting healthier, and they have the rest advantage, so the points are worth a look. However, the Lakers continue to win and cover numbers. In fact, with a 13-6 ATS record, the Lakers are the best cover team in the NBA. Also, LeBron didn’t play last night, which tells me he could come back fresh in this spot. Check the injury report before betting. Still, the line is reasonable, and the Lakers keep cashing tickets. I’m not stepping in front of that. Give me the Lakers.
