On Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns will renew their rivalry in a Pacific Division matchup. The Suns, determined to avenge their loss to Los Angeles from the previous week, will face a Lakers team that has been in impressive form.
Despite the Lakers’ recent victories and impressive offensive performance, the Suns’ superior defense and their wealth of experience should provide them with an advantage. The Suns are expected to cover the spread due to their capacity to fire the ball from a distance and contain opponents.
