LA Lakers vs Phoenix Prediction: Booker Isn't the Only One Who Can Decide the Outcome

Prediction for the NBA LA Lakers vs Phoenix match which will take place on October 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Last season wasn't so bad for the Lakers - they reached the conference finals. But the loss to Denver certainly upset LeBron James, who hopes to win at least one more championship before ending his career. There is little faith in that, as the first game against the same Nuggets confirmed. The Lakers failed 107-119 without much chance of success. However, LeBron proved he can still be effective - 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists.

The Suns are the closest pursuers of the Nuggets in the race for the leading position in the West. Phoenix showed they could get it in the first game by beating Golden State away. However, the Warriors are also among the favorites. They went on a 28-7 spurt at the beginning of the third quarter, overcoming an 11-point gap in the first half and taking an 8-point lead. However, the Suns outscored their opponents +12 in the fourth quarter to win 108-104. Devin Booker, who might not be fielded, scored 32 points and made eight assists. Kevin Durant earned 18 points and ten rebounds. New Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic had 14 points and 14 rebounds.

The odds of the Lakers winning have dropped significantly because Devin Booker's participation is again in doubt. But the situation was the same before the meeting with Golden State. Then, the guard played, becoming the most productive on his team. But even if Booker is out, there is Kevin Durant, who alone can decide the outcome alone. Also, new Suns coach Frank Vogel is ready to offer the team new interesting solutions on defense.
