The Lakers can't beat the good teams, but they feast on the bad teams. Even though the Suns have a winning record on the season, the current state of the team says they're bad. They’ve lost six of their last eight. Once the best covering team in the NBA, they’ve failed to cover seven times in their last eight games. The Lakers have lost four of their last six, but those were all to good teams on a home stand. The Lakers owe the Suns some payback after losing to them 132-108, without Luke Doncic, on December 23rd. Who knows who's going to play for the Suns tonight, but it's a good bet it's not going to be Devin Booker. Lakers to cover.
