Los Angeles Lakers Betting
The Los Angeles Lakers have lost six straight games and they are now two games behind the San Antonio Spurs for the last spot in the play-in tournament. Another loss may be costly for the Lakers and this team needs to win this upcoming matchup. Anthony Davis is back in action but his presence has not translated to victories. This is going to be an eye-opening game the Lakers should just shut it out the rest of the season or will they fight to squeeze themselves into the play-in. Nonetheless, LeBron James is looking forward to another good scoring night and winning another scoring title.

Phoenix Suns Betting
The Phoenix Suns are on top of everyone winning 62 games this season. The next team below them is seven games behind and that is the Memphis Grizzlies. This team still needs a few more wins to secure the best record entering the playoffs but they can also wait it out and let the Memphis Grizzlies lose more games. Health is very important right now for the Suns as they aim to have a complete roster by the first round. Chris Paul did not rush his return to the roster and the entire team responded by keeping on winning without the veteran point guard. Devin Booker earned his right to be inside the MVP conversation at this point.
Players to Watch: Devin Booker SG 66 GP 66 GS 34.5 MIN 26.6 PTS 0.7 OR 4.3 DR 5 REB 4.9 AST 1.2 STL 0.4 BLK 2.4 TO 2.6 PF 2 AST/TO 21.31 PER
