The Lakers and Suns meet for the nightcap of a doubleheader on TNT.
Phoenix is 9-7 and has lost five straight games, but there is some good news. Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant return to the Suns to move Phoenix into the home favorites in this game. The Suns are 8-1 with Kevin Durant this season, while the Lakers are 9-0 in Cup games dating back to last year, so this return is good timing.
Los Angeles is 10-6 and is on a two-game losing streak heading into this game. These two met on October 25 and 28, with both teams splitting a competition. Anthony Davis scored 29 and 35 points in these two games, so even though the Suns have their stars back, they also need to stop the Lakers’ stars.
With that said, let’s dive into the match and offer some insight and possibly a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Bradley Beal to go under 22.5 PRA against the Lakers:
“Bradley Beal makes his return to the lineup and his third appearance against the Lakers this season.
While it’s a familiar opponent for him in a highly competitive matchup to help stop a five-game losing streak, Beal is also a familiar opponent for the Lakers to slow down. Beal is coming off a calf injury and before that he averaged 17.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists this season (25.5 PRA).
This figure of 22.5 may seem low to some, but it seems pretty accurate to me. With Tyus Jones and Devin Booker manning the rock, as well as Kevin Durant in the backfield, I don’t expect a high usage rate for Beal. I like his PRA under 22.5 and I like points under 15.5 as an alternative.
