The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBA TV.
The Lakers have lost eight of their last 10 games to fall to seventh place in the Western Conference, and will need to make up ground in the final five games of the season to avoid the NBA’s play-in tournament. The Suns also have plenty to play for, as they trail the Jazz by 1.5 games in the race for the No. 1 overall seed.

- Point spread: Suns -7
- Money line: Suns -300 / Lakers +240

Advice and prediction
The Lakers will be missing LeBron James and Dennis Schroder, and Kyle Kuzma is doubtful for Sunday’s game. Anthony Davis had a 36-point performance on Friday in a loss to the Blazers, which is promising for the Lakers, but the Suns are one of the best teams in the league and are 2-0 against the Lakers this season, with each victory coming by double-digits. With L.A. still short-handed and floundering at the end of the season, take the Suns -7.
Prediction: Suns 115, Lakers 103
