Game Preview
The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns renew their Pacific Division rivalry on Friday, marking the first matchup between the two teams this 2024-25 season. Bettors should take note, as both teams come in with momentum from season-opening wins.
The Suns claimed a 116-113 overtime victory against the Clippers, led by Kevin Durant’s 25 points. Bradley Beal added 24, while Devin Booker chipped in with 15 points and six assists, showcasing Phoenix’s well-rounded scoring potential. The trio’s strong start under new head coach Mike Budenholzer — who previously led the Bucks to a 2021 championship — signals a likely high-scoring approach that could influence totals and individual scoring props.
The Lakers, meanwhile, debuted with a 110-103 win over Minnesota, with Anthony Davis dominating the court. He finished with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and three blocks, a promising sign for player props bettors. Los Angeles also saw solid contributions from Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and LeBron James, who enters his 22nd season and made a brief court appearance with his son, Bronny. Rookie Dalton Knecht, with 16 minutes of action, and Jaxson Hayes off the bench could add depth to the Lakers’ lineup, offering potential value for those eyeing bench scoring props.
Both teams’ fast starts and new coaching styles bring multiple betting angles, from point totals to individual player props, as the Lakers and Suns aim to continue their winning ways in this anticipated showdown.
