Wonder if they'll strategically rest some key players for a game or two with the 7th locked up. Colin, O'Neale, etc...

I just want to see 20 minutes of Dunn, Flemming, and Man-Man front court.

Anyone on the Lakers you're anxious to see play tonight, Brian?

Bronnie James of course, duh.

Hopefully, both Marcus Smart and Jaxson Hayes are back in the lineup. We are still missing Doncic and Reaves, but the 3rd seed is still in play.

 

[leclerc]

Suns are playing like ass so you'll probably get the W unless something unexpected happens.

This poster says it all. Dunn and the rooks will get some great looks. Sorry, had to make it rhyme (since I had the time.)

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we need to rest booker and learn how to play without him again - hopefully tonight is two birds one stone

It's been fun to watch Dillon Brooks this season, but especially vs the Lakers — a matchup he's *very clearly* enjoyed as well.

• 25.3 PPG
• 73.3 2p%
• 22-for-30 from 2 (!)
• 45.0 3p%
• 71.6 TS%
• +54

Good "get right" opportunity for him tonight, working back from injury.

Even though Haywood Highsmith is OUT. It's good to see him putting in some work.

I almost put a $1 on the lakers tonight.

It has more to do with who the Suns are sitting tonight.
