Let's get to our Lakers vs. Suns prediction and pick.
Lakers vs. Suns Prediction
Pick: Under 241.5 (-110)
Lakers Betting Outlook
The surging Lakers have won seven of their last nine contests, with their two losses during that span coming against the Nuggets and Warriors in the absence of LeBron James. Now they are on track to be full strength and ready to go.
The Lakers defense is impressive and consistently holds their opponents to around 110 points. The Lakers offense has been shooting very well, which feels less sustainable long term.
Expecting some shooting regression and strong defense, the under becomes one of my favorite bets on the Sunday NBA board.

Suns Betting Outlook
The Suns simply can't shake the injury bug. They will continue to be without Bradley Beal, Eric Gordon and possibly Jusuf Nurkic as well.
This team is just so thin and needs the extra legs, considering they hover at the 7th seed in the West and have the hardest remaining strength of schedule in the NBA.
The injuries are two offensive minded players and floor spacers. It will be on defensive minded head coach Frank Vogel to create a game plan to stop his former team. These are all further reasons to like the under.

The opening line for this game was 239.5 at Caesars. We've seen the line dip down to 237.5 at numerous other sportsbooks, and then shoot back up to 241.5 on Sunday morning. So Caesars may catch up shortly.
The main factors to influence the under are the rash of injuries to offensive players that will be confirmed tomorrow at shoot around, playing this game during the day, and the head coach of the Suns is defensive minded going against his former team.
Pick: Under 241.5 (-110)
