Lakers vs. Suns Best Bet: Lakers ML +110

The Lakers may be on a losing streak entering this matchup, but with LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the way, they’re bound to snap the streak sooner rather than later. On the flip side, while the Suns have a chance to return to near full health, Phoenix could be rusty as their top players continue to bounce in and out of lineups. That said, it wouldn’t be a shock to see the Lakers go on the road and steal a win as they look to win the NBA In-Season Tournament in back-to-back years.

Lakers vs. Suns Best Total Bet: Over 235

Both teams have the offensive firepower to score in spurts. With two offensive-minded head coaches, this game could turn into a shootout quickly, especially with each team playing in desperation to snap their losing skids. A final score of 123-119 seems like a realistic outcome between the two hopeful contenders.

Lakers Best Player Bet: LeBron James to Score 25+ Points +140

James is one of the few players in the NBA who needs no introduction. The future Hall of Famer continues to play at a dominant level, even at age 39. The King is known to take over games when his team needs him most, and looking to get back in the win column during an NBA Cup showdown, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him do it yet again. Not to mention that James has exceeded the 25-point mark in two of the Lakers’ last three games.

Suns Best Player Bet: Kevin Durant 3+ Made Threes +150

Kevin Durant is likely to return to the lineup on Tuesday night after missing the last two weeks of play. However, as one of the best scorers in the world, the Texas product will look to pick up where he left off. Durant has drained 3+ threes in four of the nine matchups he’s played in this season, and as he too looks to end the Suns losing skid, expect a big game from the star forward.
