Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers went on a 4 game road trip and came back home without finding a win. Their latest matchup was a 131-126 loss to the Denver Nuggets.

Suns vs. Lakers Prediction:
I like the over in this matchup on Sunday afternoon. The Lakers got their best offensive output of their 4 game road trip in the final game when they were missing 4 starters and they scored 126 points while hanging with the Nuggets. The supporting cast should have gained some confidence from that game and should be ready to contribute when they head home and their leading scorer in Luka Doncic returns to the court. The Suns have hit the over in 6 of their last 10 games and in 3 of their last 5 road games. On top of that, when the Suns are on the road, the over is 22-13 this season. The Lakers have hit the over in 3 straight games.
Suns vs. Lakers Prediction: Over 229.5
