Phoenix Suns vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/10/26

The Phoenix Suns are in an interesting position ahead of Friday’s game against the Lakers. They are finishing 7th in the West regardless of how their last two games end, so it’ll be interesting to see whether or not they decide to rest key players here. Devin Booker has already been ruled out, but there is a chance we get to see Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks out there. Phoenix did win 3 of the 4 meetings this season, they are now 5-2 SU in 7 games against LA. However, in games played at Crypto.com Arena they’ve won only twice in 8 visits.

LeBron and co. just celebrated a massive win at Golden State last night which kept them in the 4th seed. They have the edge in head-to-head meetings over the Rockets, so if both teams win their last two games they’ll keep home court advantage in that match-up. LeBron scored 26 pts and dished out 11 assists in last night’s win, he also got massive help from Deandre Ayton who had 21 on an impressive 9-for-11 shooting. As a team the Lakers shot 61% from the field and 55% from three, but they did all that against a Warriors team that was without Stephen Curry.

We don’t really know which Suns team will show up here, but what we do know is that the Lakers will play their hearts out to get a win here. Their faith is in their own hands and they’re playing their last two games at home, with the Utah Jazz coming to town on Sunday. This might be the game of the season for the Lakers; I think LeBron James once again turns back the clock and brings another big win for the purple and gold. Take the Lakers.
