The Los Angeles Lakers have slipped out of playoff contention and out of the play- in tournament at the moment. Even with LeBron James in the lineup, the Lakers have never gelled as a team this season even with the roster on paper looking like one of the greatest teams ever assembled. At 31 and 47 on the year and questions of LA shutting down James for the year we see the Suns coming away with an easy win at home. Final Score Prediction: Phoenix wins 120-97.
