Will LeBron James and Anthony Davis Play Tonight? Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns – Team News, Lineups, and Predictions

The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Phoneix Suns tonight. The Lakers will be worried about keeping their good form. The team is undefeated since the All-Star break. However, there is a major concern now that LeBron James has suffered an ankle injury. Him going out, along with Anthony Davis’ absence, puts their current status under jeopardy.

The Phoenix Suns have been a revelation this season. The addition of Chris Paul has transformed the team from a perennial lottery team to a contender in the Western Conference. The Suns are currently third in the West and looking to improve on that, now that the Los Angeles Lakers are looking a little weaker.

With that in mind, let us take a look at the Los Angeles Lakers clash against the Phoenix Suns.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns – Prediction

The Lakers are going into this game significantly shorthanded. Losing both their best players will put the rest of the roster on full display. Players like Kyle Kuzma, Dennis Schroder, and Montrezl Harrell will be expected to pick up the slack. However, with a fully fit Phoenix team that just defeated the Lakers, it could be too much for Frank Vogel’s men to overcome tonight.
