Night two of the In Season Tournament quarter-finals features a nightcap with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Phoenix Suns. LA secured the top West seed via sweeping Group A while the Suns won the wild card based on point differential and wins.
Phoenix arrives following a back-to-back set on Friday/Saturday versus the Nuggets and Grizzlies in which they split the set while the Lakers last played Saturday in a 107-97 victory versus the Rockets.
Season Series
Although the Lakers hold the record between the clubs with 150 victories in 265 matches. The teams split their four games last season each winning twice.
Because of this special circumstance, the Suns and Lakers will play each other an unprecedented five times with this their third meeting this season (LA won both prior matches).
Phoenix Suns
Devin Booker returned to the lineup only to once again miss time due to tweaking his ankle but he’s not listed on the injury report so the Suns should have two (Lillard, Durant) of their Big 3 available for this quarter-final match.
Booker missed both prior meetings versus the Lakers and the Suns were in both games losing by 3 and 5 points. Durant played in both matches scoring 39 in the first outing while he registered 38 points, nine rebounds, and five assists in the more recent match.
Suns Stats
As of this posting, Phoenix ranks eighth offensively (117.3) and 18th defensively (114.4) while their net differential is plus +2.9 which ranks 10th overall.
The Suns have slowly regressed in their performance against the spread with a 9-10-1 record through 20 games.
Suns Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Eric Gordon, SG (questionable — knee)
- Bradley Beal, SG (OUT indefinitely– back)
- Damion Lee, SG (out indefinitely — knee)
Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James (21 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists) flirted with a triple-double in the most recent match between these clubs plus collected two steals and two blocks.
James and Anthony Davis played in both meetings with the latter posting double-doubles in both contests.
While the Lakers are 2-0 versus Phoenix they’ve yet to face Booker and his presence will be key as one of the key weaknesses LA has shown is an inability to stop crafty or speedy guards.
Lakers Stats
LA ranks 23rd offensively (111.0), and 14th defensively (112.6), with a net differential of minus -1.6 ranking 22nd overall.
In a similar display as their opponent the Lakers are a middling pick against the spread where they post a 9-12 record through 21 games.
Lakers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Gabe Vincent, PG (OUT indefinitely —knee)

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Both prior meetings came down to clutch time and there wasn’t much separating the two clubs in any of the major categories. This begs the question of how much a difference Booker will make.
Defensive matchups for LA will be a key aspect in terms of who guards Booker and KD. Jarrett Vanderbilt isn’t listed on the injury report so presumably he’ll draw Booker while AD likely guards KD.
Perhaps the larger question is how effective Davis can be offensively when he’ll expend so much energy trying to limit KD (and of course Darvin Ham will also likely have others like LeBron taking their turn on KD).
LA reached this stage flying through the qualifying rounds, but I’m rolling with the Suns to be the team heading to the semi-finals.
