Phoenix at Los Angeles

The Lakers had such high expectations coming into the season, but it is turning into a nightmare with injuries to LeBron James and Lonzo Ball, and they now have lost three in a row, five of their last seven, and is looking bad doing it. The Lakers lost at home, 120-105, to Minnesota on Thursday following a 19-point loss to Golden State. They are 1-5-1 ATS their last seven games with two days rest and 7-16-2 ATS their last 25 games against teams with losing records. Phoenix has covered the spread eight of its last 11 road games, and the road team has covered five of the last seven meetings. The Lakers are not in a position to lay too many points. Go with the underdog Suns on Sunday night for my NBA Game of the Month.
