Los Angeles at Phoenix

Los Angeles is off to a 3-0 start, but now the Lakers go on the road for the first time to play the Suns, seeking payback for their only loss, 123-116, to the Lakers on Friday. Phoenix has already shown better chemistry than last season with new coach Mike Budenholzer, and they have had impressive wins over the Clippers and Dallas. The Suns blew a 22-point lead in the first meeting but look for a different outcome at home, where they have won six of the past seven meetings outright. Kevin Durant scored 31 points in the win against the Mavericks, who were held to 40 percent shooting even though Luka Doncic poured in 40 points and Phoenix covered as a 3.5-point underdog. Take the Suns.
