Against the spread (ATS)
The Suns have the second-highest cover percentage in the league at 66.7% and still have not failed to cover in a win. They have covered the spread in all of their wins and have not covered the spread in their losses.
The Lakers are 16-19 ATS on the season and 7-11 ATS at home. Without Davis they are just a decent team. Phoenix has been one of the league’s best teams. Take the SUNS +1 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Phoenix has allowed 100 or fewer points in four of its last five games. The Lakers have scored 102 or fewer points in four of their last six.
Both of the Suns’ other games on this road trip played to the Under and the Lakers’ last three have gone Under. The Lakers share the lowest Over percentage in the league at 34.3%.
Take UNDER 213.5 (-110).
