hoenix are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Phoenix's last 7 games against LA Lakers.
Prediction
The Lakers are having a dissapointment season and Lebron is still out for this game. They're 6-14 playing without him this season. Phoenix are the best team in the league and won't have any trouble to beat the Lakers. However this line is thick and I think the Lakers can keep it close enough to cover.
PICK: Lakers +13 (-110)
