NBA Cup: LA Lakers vs Phoenix Suns Betting Predictions

02/12/2025|SB Staff|NBA Tips & Predictions
<p>The Los Angeles Lakers are looking pretty unstoppable at the moment. <strong>JJ Redick </strong>may have been without<strong> LeBron James </strong>for much of the season, but it appears to be an era of No Lebron, No Problem for the Purple &amp; Gold.</p> <p>Now, they’ll take to the court at home to face the Phoenix Suns, who have been reasonably solid themselves. Will they be ready for the Lakers when they play on Tuesday, December 2, at 14:00 AEDT.</p> <p>Read on to find out the Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns betting predictions our NBA betting experts have and their thoughts on the upcoming clash…</p> <h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns: Betting Preview</h2> <p>The Lakers have won their last seven consecutive matches, pushing them to an 8-2 record over the last 10 games.</p> <p>That is a record that is equal to the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, and Orlando Magic. The only team to have a better record over the last ten games is the Oklahoma City Thunder (10-0). In Conference play, the Lakers have enjoyed their contests against fellow Western rivals. They are 12-3; only OKC are better (16-1).</p> <p>The Suns have been inconsistent, with <strong>Jordan Ott’s</strong> team currently on a two-game losing streak. However, they’ve played two of the top four teams before heading into their game against the second-placed Lakers. OKC beat them before suffering defeat to the Denver Nuggets most recently.</p> <p>Looking at past meetings between the Lakers and the Suns, the head-to-head is interesting. Last season, the two teams met four times, with each team winning twice:</p> <ul> <li>Mar 2025: Lakers 107-96 Suns</li> <li>Nov 2024: Suns 127-100 Lakers</li> <li>Oct 2024: Suns 109-105 Lakers</li> <li>Oct 2024: Lakers 123-116 Suns</li> </ul> <h2>Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns: Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Each game to have been played last season saw the <strong>hosts emerge victorious.</strong> This is a <strong>trend we predict will continue</strong> in the first meeting between these two this season.</p> <p>The Lakers have been dominant at home this season, going 7-2 in their nine home contests so far. The Suns have been decent on the road, but they have lost their last two against two top-four Western Conference teams so far to go 4-5 for the year away from the Mortgage Matchup Center.</p> <p>As part of our Los Angeles Lakers vs Phoenix Suns betting predictions, we think it’s always worth taking a look at player props. We can’t help but look at<strong> Luka Doncic</strong> and<strong> Austin Reaves </strong>in this game, especially after what they achieved against the New Orleans Pelicans in their last encounter.</p> <p>Both had scored 30+ points in that game, continuing their exceptional seasons. Doncic leads with a 35.1 points per game average, whereas Reaves is second with 28.5. We <strong>predict they’ll have another 30+</strong> in this game.</p>
