Our NBA Free Pick:
The Lakers pretty much dominate this matchup in all major categories outside of field goal percentage and bench play. The Lakers are averaging more points per game this season, have the better free throw percentage, defense and hold the edge in rebounding and turnovers as well. The home team is 9-4 against the spread in the last 13 meetings between these two teams, while the Suns are just 1-5 against the number in their last six meetings with the Lakers in L.A. Our pick is the Lakers minus the points.
