The Lakers are without coach Frank Vogel and Kent Bazemore due to health and safety protocols.

Isaiah Thomas started for the Lakers in their loss to the Bulls. He could well start tonight.

Thomas had 13 points and 1 assist.

I was shocked to see Ariza out there, I was wondering how his corpse made it onto the court

Are you kidding? He’s the missing ingredient why the Lakers weren’t killing people this season... according to Lakers media.

Suns have to prepare for everything including an up and down the floor game with Anthony Davis out.

Revenge game tonight. (We still owe them a few.)
Utah is looking good we need to put on the gas and let the Jazz fight it out with the Warriors for a bit.
While we quietly sneak away from both.

Suns should win easily.

This team without AD is bottom 10 in the NBA IMO.

I hope the Suns never fall in the trap that there are easy games in the NBA.

I expect the Lakers best game tonight and that’s what the Suns should expect as well. And if they play like the undermanned team that they are we need to step on their throats and demoralize them.

Pacers are getting blown out by Heat.

The Pacers have a good roster but it's not working. I'm sure they will be looking to make a move.
