Phoenix Suns (PHX) vs Los Angeles Lakers (LAL) Pick


Phoenix Suns over Los Angeles Lakers: Now that Kobe is back the lines have been overcompensated for giving us value on an underrated Phx team. Kobe after his first game admits he is rusty and a work in progress. Not only that but Lal as a team after to re-adjust their game on the fly.

Regardless Kobe’s minutes will be watched closely and it would be very surprising if he played over 30 mins. The lal are a weak defensive team no surprise coached by D’antoni who could care less about playing defense anyway. Gasol does not play defense and Kobe in the short term actually makes them even weaker on the defensive side. Phx is playing good ball they have balanced scoring depth and in a game they can definitely win outright the points offered provide a nice cushion.
