Los Angeles at Phoenix

Premium Pick

The LeBron James era has gotten off to a slow start in LA as the Lakers are still seeking their first win as they have started 0-3. They have played some strong competition thus far and I think they have a strong chance to break through in Phoenix tonight against the 1-2 Suns. James' numbers have been strong as he is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists on the season, and I look for him to have a "take over" type game tonight to put an end to the skid. Phoenix is rebuilding, has some potentially good young players but they will take their lumps this season. The Suns followed an opening night win with a pair of 20+ point losses. Take the Lakers.
