Match preview: Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns

The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Phoenix Suns on 5th April 2022(USA), as the race to the playoffs tightens up with less than 10 games left for every team in the regular season.

Lakers are in danger of missing the play-in tournament which will be a major disappointment for this roster which had such high expectations at the start of the season and nothing seems to be going their way at all.

The Suns are the best team in the league and they would look to defeat the Lakers to bring their momentum after they have lost two successive games against teams that they shouldn’t have lost to.

The current record of both the teams:

  • The Los Angeles Lakers are currently having a record of 31-47 and are the 11th seed in the West
  • The Phoenix Suns are currently having a record of 62-15 and are the 1st seed in the West

Players to watch out for in Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns

  • LeBron James – Lakers

If the Lakers have any chance to get something out of this tough game then LeBron needs to be at his best as the Lakers look to keep their season alive.

Booker has always played well against the Lakers and he will look to continue doing the same as the Suns would like to make a statement in this game against a highly motivated Lakers team.
