Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers Predictions 12/21/2021

In Friday’s 110-92 defeat in Minnesota, the Lakers lost Anthony Davis. For the foreseeable future, they will lose 23.3ppg, 9.9rpg, and 2.0bpg. Dwight Howard should get more minutes, but he won’t have the same impact as Davis. To hold the Lakers’ heads above water in terms of conference rankings, LeBron and Russ will have to step up and be more dominating than ever. They were defeated 115-110 in their last game in Chicago.

DeMar DeRozan scored 38 points in the game, while Nikola Vucevic produced 19 points and 13 rebounds. Alex Caruso, a former Laker, led the team with 17 points and nine rebounds. LeBron James led the Lakers with 31 points and 14 rebounds on 11-21 shooting. Russ and Melo collaborated for 41 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Bulls overcame a 1-point hole in the fourth quarter to win by five points.

The total went UNDER in 6 of the LA Lakers’ last 7 matches.
The total went UNDER in 8 of the LA Lakers’ last 11 matches at home against Phoenix.
The LA Lakers are 4-16 ATS in their last 20 matches in the Western Conference.

Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA pick for this game is the Phoenix Suns. At this juncture in the season, the Lakers just do not know how to play collectively. Davis’ absence will be felt, but the Suns’ defense will be the larger issue.

The Suns held opponents to less than 44 percent shooting from the field this season, and they will do the same against this Laker squad. Without Davis, the Lakers’ defense will be even poorer, and DeAndre Ayton should have his way inside, leading to open shooting opportunities for Booker, Paul, and Bridges. The Phoenix Suns will win and cover the ATS to a predicted score of 115-106.
