Game Prediction, Analysis and Breakdown
LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS. PHOENIX SUNS
Tommy d here for your second nba playoff game breakdown of the day. If you didn’t see my video of the nuggets and blazers game with my predictions and picks, go watch after this one is over!
On Tuesday night, the Lakers tied the series up between the suns after dominating the fourth quarter in what was a close game. The only reason this was possible, is because Chris Paul was injured and left the game early in the fourth. Even though Cameron Payne played well in his place, the suns went on a scoring drought for almost 5 entire minutes of the quarter and couldn’t overcome the deficit in the final minutes.
Anthony Davis came to play scoring 34 points with 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and three blocks. Dennis Schroeder also contributed immensely going for 24 points shooting 50% from the floor.
Looking at the suns vs Lakers injury report for game 3, chris Paul is listed as probable so his shoulder injury must not be of any concern. Keeping him out of the game in the fourth quarter was precautionary.
They are obviously way better with him on the floor but I don’t know if it will matter.
The Lakers length is going to be tough for any team to play against. They out rebounded the suns by 10 boards.
The suns really needed to win both of their home games to start the series, because it is extremely difficult to win in the staples center. The Lakers are 22-15 straight up at home this season but only 14-23 against the spread.
The current suns vs Lakers odds have the Lakers favored by 7!! It opened at 3 but with question marks surrounding chris Paul’s availability, the line has skyrocketed. The total is currently sitting at 211 which was the final total score of game 2.
Even though Anthony Davis went off on Tuesday night, Lebron only has a combined 41 points in this series. He hasn’t even had a big night but it’s coming…that’s for sure, they’ve also had disappointing efforts off the bench by kuzma and Horton tucker. Another interesting thing I noticed, was montrez Harrell never took the floor in game 2.
Gasol was used as the center off the bench but even he only played limited minutes with the starters playing almost the entire game.
Game Prediction and Picks
My Lakers vs suns prediction is the Lakers win this game but I’m not sure they will cover 7 points. If you want to bet the Lakers, I would wait until chris Paul is listed as a starter and the line will probably drop to around 5.5. They are now in complete control of this series. The Lakers are the best 7 seed you’ve ever seen and if they didn’t have injury issues all year they obviously would have home court like last season.
My Lakers vs suns pick is under 211. The first game went way under and game 2 got a bit lucky with late fouls to go over. I expect this one to stay under with 2 top defensive units and the Lakers not being a heavy three point shooting team.
