Free Pick: PHX Suns -2.5.
The Suns will finally be at full strength with the return of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Unsurprisingly, they haven't been a threatening team in their absence. Expect this team to come out firing, as they need to get a win tonight after losing five straight. Durant and Beal will add a lot of firepower to their offense and allow for a much better flow with their ability to create shots for themselves and their teammates. This is a favorable opponent for their return as well given how bad the Lakers have been defensively this year, allowing the 7th most points per game and the 3rd highest field goal percentage. The Suns will return to the high-powered scoring team we are used to seeing, with the return of their stars and overall better depth than the Lakers expect them to cover the spread at home.
