Los Angeles lost a hearbreaker in overtime against Boston on Tuesday, but the Lakers didn't let it get them down as they used it as motivation to bounce back and win their next two games against Denver and Washington while playing mostly without Anthony Davis, who will be out for about a month with a foot injury. LeBron James assisted on Thomas Bryant's go-ahead dunk with 7.1 seconds left and scored 33 points against the Wizards. Phoenix recently lost five in a row before beating the Clippers and New Orleans and the Suns are dealing with several injuries of their own. Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton both are questionable for this game and the Suns are 2-5 ATS their past seven games. The Lakers have gone OVER seven of 10 and Phoenix went OVER against the Pelicans, who shot 58.4 percent. The Lakers are 6-1 OVER their past seven road games and the Suns are 5-0 OVER following a win. Play the Lakers and the OVER.
