Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/26/24

The Lakers hope to bounce back following back-to-back losses to the Magic and Nuggets at home. They head to Phoenix where they’ve already lost 109-105 about a month ago. Anthony Davis had a really bad game vs the Nuggets on Saturday, going just 6-for-19 from the field and scoring 14 points. The Lakers were also outrebounded by 16 and they had 10 less assists. All of that needs to be cleaned up in order for them to beat the Suns, they have just 1 victory in their last 8 visits to Phoenix.

At 1-1 there is still hope for the Suns to advance to the next round of the Emirates NBA Cup here, but they’ll need to end their 5-game losing streak here. Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal return to the line-up after 2 weeks of absence, that’ll make a major difference for them on the offensive end where they’ve struggled to produce. KD has had back-to-back 30 point performances against the Lakers already this season, LA simply doesn’t have the wing defenders that can slow him down.

LeBron and company are slowing down a bit after their hot start to the season. They are just 3-4 SU in road games and have covered the spread only once in 6 home games. Phoenix gets their two superstars back, with their impressive 7-1 SU record in the last 8 home games vs the Lakers, I think backing them is the way to go here.
