Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns: Storylines

The Los Angeles Lakers just can’t catch a break. Now, it seems like Anthony Davis got hurt again and he could miss this game and further time. Add LeBron James’ ankle injury to this and Frank Vogel’s team is in serious jeopardy of not even making the playoffs despite being the reigning champions.

The Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, have huge aspirations for this season. Chris Paul’s addition has taken them to a whole new dimension and for the first time since the Steve Nash era, they’re a legit championship contender. They want to clinch homecourt advantage and the best record in the NBA.
