Prediction

It is always a show when the lights turn on in Crypto.com Arena and tonight will be no different as both of these Western conference foes go toe to toe tonight.

The Lakers have kept the ship rolling without LeBron in the lineup and it has been thanks to fantastic play from not only Anthony Davis, but D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reeves.

Even winning 6 of their last 10 games, the Lakers have fallen to 11th and currently are on the outside looking in of the playoff picture.

But 2.5 games separate the Lakers and the 6th place Warriors, who battle it out with the Mavericks tonight, so everything is up in the air in the middle of the West.

Tonight, the Lakers get a big chance to get a win against the 4th place Suns, who are going to be without big man DeAndre Ayton tonight.

In what should be a slugfest from start to finish, I love the Lakers to get the job done at home.

I think Anthony Davis has another massive performance and leads the Lakers back into the playoff picture.

Player Prop of the Game

Anthony Davis o39.5 (-120) BetMGM

Well, you could have guessed I was going to be all over Davis in this matchup and given the success, how can you not.

He has cleared 40+ PR in 6 of his last 10 games and his last game out against the Suns, he absolutely grubbed.

He put up an absurd 37 points and 21 rebounds in the matchup with the Suns earlier this season and that was with Ayton playing for the Suns.

With no Ayton tonight, I love Davis to go absolutely nuts yet again.

Hard to pick between the boards or points, so I am just going to stick with both but for a plus money bonus, his 30+ points is +155.

Hard not to ride the big man in this matchup.

Bonus: Davis 30+ points (+155)
