The Los Angeles Lakers play the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Game 4, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 3:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on ABC.
The Lakers are aiming to take a commanding 3-1 series lead with Game 4 at home, as the Suns hope to steal a road win with Chris Paul’s health looking shaky.
Los Angeles has health problems of its own. Anthony Davis is dealing with a left knee sprain and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a left quad contusion. Davis is adamant he’ll play. Caldwell-Pope is day to day.
The Suns lost Game 3 by 14 points. Devin Booker shot 6-of-19 as the Lakers focused their attention on him since Paul was a minor threat to the Lakers’ defense.
Game 3 got chippy toward the end as both Booker and Jae Crowder were ejected, so Game 4 is setting up to be intense.

Advice and prediction
If Paul isn’t back to form, the Lakers could have another double-digit win on the horizon. But Davis and Caldwell-Pope are both vital to Los Angeles’ defense, so there are many lingering questions about the health of both squads.
However, the Lakers still have LeBron James on their side, who has a winning percentage of 71.4 in the 49 Game 4s he’s played in. If LeBron does LeBron things, L.A. should win this one. Though, like the previous three games, it should be a relatively low-scoring affair. Take the Lakers minus-6.5 and the under 209.5.
Prediction: Lakers 107, Suns 97
