Prediction published on 27/10/2024, 18:13  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 28/10/2024 at 04:30 in NBA Predictions

The LA Lakers will put their 100% start to the NBA season on the line when they travel to play the Phoenix Suns. They top the West standings after three rounds and have already defeated the Suns who are fifth. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Suns bounced back from their defeat in LA by seeing off the Mavericks 114-102 in their first home game. They have now won two of their three matches and will be eager to avenge their 123-116 loss to the Lakers.

Mike Budenholzer’s men, who are averaging 115.3 points will, however, have to battle it out here without Bradley Beal.

Beal, who scored 15 points and provided nine assists in the first game against LA, is out with an elbow injury.

The Lakers are the only team thus far to have won their opening three games in the West. They have done so averaging 121.3 points and allowing 115.3 points.

This is their first away match and the 100% record will face its biggest threat. J.J. Redicks’ men are coming off an intense back-and-forth battle with the Kings.

The match saw a total of 258 points scored with LA managing 131 of those to snap a five-match losing run against the Kings.

Anthony Davis, who is averaging 34 points, grabbed 31 points in the win.
