After a week featuring multiple days of NBA Cup Group Stage games, the week tips off with the NBA on Peacock doubleheader. That closes out with a Western Conference clash between two teams on a great pace to exceed expectations and prove doubters wrong. Therefore, we’re here to add to it with our best Suns vs. Lakers predictions for tonight.

Better yet, you’ll find that we’ve also added to the best bet from our Suns vs. Lakers picks with a guaranteed 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus! 

Suns vs. Lakers Predictions for NBA on Peacock, 12/1

It’s safe to say that these two Western Conference foes had vastly different weekends. Phoenix had back-to-back nights, not just games, against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander & the Oklahoma City Thunder and Nikola Jokic & the Denver Nuggets. They lost both games. Meanwhile, LA played the bottom on the barrel.

That was with the Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans, but as for Suns vs. Lakers predictions tonight, they are going to be the ones coming into this matchup on the second night of a back-to-back. With a 40-year-old LeBron James just coming back from his sciatica injury, it’s no surprise that he did not play last night.

Normally, we’d tell you that was in preparation to play tonight; however, he was ruled out with a foot issue rather than a back injury, so it’s worth monitoring before locking in your Suns vs. Lakers picks. It’s going to show us something about Phoenix’s hot start to the season in terms of taking down a team that looks to be a contender after their two recent losses.

Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves will have something to say about that, not to mention that this is also a Deandre Ayton revenge game. You can already see that there’s plenty to consider when it comes to finding a best bet from our Suns vs. Lakers predictions for tonight.   
 

 

 

Suns vs. Lakers Best Bet: Phoenix +5.5 Points (-101 at Novig)

Well, will we see a Deandre Ayton revenge game? The center has been banged up as of late, and that is the case again just as fast as his recent return. He exited Sunday’s win over the Pelicans with knee soreness and didn’t return. Like LeBron James, his status is important to monitor today for any Suns vs. Lakers predictions.

Truthfully, Deandre Ayton isn’t exactly a world-beater in our eyes; after all, he’s not on the Suns anymore for good reason. We’d lean towards LBJ playing tonight, but even still, we like the Suns getting quite a few points in this spot. For one, they’re not the ones coming into the matchup having just played last night.

It’s not just us that have trusted Phoenix as underdogs with more than our Suns vs. Lakers predictions this year, either. The oddsmakers still have yet to figure out why they’re exceeding expectations. We’re able to say that because the Suns have the second-best record against the spread this season.

Having just dealt with arguably the best two teams in the entire NBA and a somewhat banged-up LA squad, the best bet from our Suns vs. Lakers predictions is Phoenix +5.5 (-101 at Novig).
