Last season in the playoffs Phoenix knocked off Los Angeles in six games, proving the Suns were the best team in the Western Conference.
These teams have not played since December, but in the two games, Phoenix is averaging 111.5 points and giving up 97.5 points per game. The Suns clinically dismantled Los Angeles in both games by 38 total points like they have done to basically every other team this season.
Phoenix will be without Chris Paul (17.0 points and 11.5 assists per game against Los Angeles), while the Lakers will again be without Anthony Davis (22 points and 14 rebounds in one game against Phoenix).
Phoenix has been without Paul for nine games and will miss him for nearly all the rest of the regular season. The team has gone 5-4 in games without Paul this season.
During this five-game stretch with Paul out, Devin Booker has played great, showing his ability to score and make plays. He’s averaging 26.0 points, 8.0 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game.
