Phoenix at Los Angeles

The LA Lakers thought they had the best team in the West with 3 superstars, but it didn't work out. They made a lot of trades at the deadline, and when healthy they look like a team that can make a solid run in the playoffs. The way things are now they can finish anywhere from 5th to 9th in the playoff seeding. There is a lot to play for. The Phoenix Suns are locked into the #4 slot and have no reason to come out with fire, as their fate has been determined. The Laker's trio of stars are all questionable, but under the circumstances, I think they all take the floor. Phoenix will likely rest starters completely, or pull them at the half. I like the LA Lakers in this one.
