LeBron James and Anthony Davis Both Listed As Questionable

Anthony Davis played 35 minutes on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets and recorded 28 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Russell Westbrook went 11-for-15 from the field and scored 27 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists. The strong individual performances weren’t enough in a 129-118 loss to the Nuggets as 5.5-point home underdogs.

The Lakers fell to 0-6 SU and 2-4 ATS over their last six games with the loss. Los Angeles was 24-24 back on January 25; since then, the team has gone just 7-23 SU and 12-18 ATS over its last 30 games.

LeBron James (ankle) and Davis (foot) are both listed as questionable ahead of this game against the Suns. Bettors taking Los Angeles as their Lakers vs Suns prediction will be counting on at least one of those superstars to play on Tuesday.

Phoenix Has Opened April With Two Straight Losses

Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Jae Crowder all got the night off to rest on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder cruised to an easy 117-96 win as 14-point home underdogs, handing Phoenix its second straight loss as the team fell to the Memphis Grizzlies 122-114 as 8-point favorites last Friday night. The Suns were 9-0 SU and 7-2 ATS over their previous nine games prior to those losses.

Phoenix is expected to have its starters back for Tuesday night’s game against the Lakers. Head coach Monty Williams will be tasked with keeping his starters in top form over the team’s last four games, although the Suns have nothing to play for as they’ve already locked up the NBA’s top seed throughout the postseason.

Lakers vs Suns Pick & Insights

Lakers: Keys To Cover

Having LeBron James or Anthony Davis in the lineup for this one would mean a lot to the Lakers’ chances of covering the spread as a Lakers vs Suns prediction. Regardless of who suits up, the Lakers are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive and should have the edge in effort against a team with nothing to play for.

Suns: Keys To Cover

Phoenix hasn’t lost three straight games all season long. After resting its starters against the Thunder, everyone should be good to go in this one, and even if their minutes are limited, the NBA’s best team in 2021-22 has plenty of firepower to win big and cover the spread as a Lakers vs Suns pick.
