*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, April 6th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, April 7th.
Phoenix Suns
While the East’s top five and 10th seeds are cemented in the West only two teams have secured their placement with the Nuggets in first and the Suns in fourth.
Phoenix doesn’t know who they’ll face in the first round but it could be any of five teams although the Clippers are the only club that controls their own fate.
The other four teams are the Warriors, Lakers, Pelicans and Wolves.
Stats
Phoenix averages 113.7 points per game ranking 17th while shooting 46.8% from the field and 37.5% from the perimeter ranking 22nd and seventh overall.
Defensively opponents score 111.3 points ranking fourth-best. Meanwhile, they limit foes to 46.4% from the field and 35.6% from the perimeter ranking sixth and 12th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- No injuries reported but with the Suns locking in the fourth seed they may rest members of their core in this game.
Los Angeles Lakers
While they have played well since the All-Star break, the loss to the Clippers was a deep blow for the Lakers in terms of seeding.
LA’s desire was to avoid the play-in tournament but that loss took away some of the Lakers’ flexibility and control. They can’t finish lower than ninth but even if they win the final two games it only secures the eighth seed.
While they still could land in the fifth, sixth, or seventh seeds getting to those rungs will require the help of other teams.

Free Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
Of the four teams LA is battling for seeding the Clippers and Warriors have an extra win while the Lakers own tiebreaks versus the Dubs and Pelicans.
The question is whether Phoenix will have a vested interest in winning as it would ensure they don’t face the Lakers in round one or if they’d rather give their stars the night off to rest.
