Free Betting Pick: Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers will probably have their backups playing again in this game, but in their last game the backups completely decimated the Clippers team. Look for the Lakers to come to the game here and take advantage of a very weak Suns defense and completely control this game from the opening tip. Final Score, Los Angeles Lakers win 119-94.
