Lakers vs. Suns Picks, Predictions: Can Davis Give L.A. a Chance in Tough Road Matchup?

Anthony Davis has given the Los Angeles Lakers life during LeBron James' injury. Now he has to do it again against the Phoenix Suns.

James is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns. Here are my NBA picks and predictions for the game.

The Suns are 7-point home favorites against the Lakers. FanDuel and BetMGM bumped the line to Phoenix -7.5. The total opened at 227. 5 and has come down slightly to 227 at DraftKings and 226.

Suns are -7 (-115 via DraftKings) and Lakers -2.5 (-110 via FanDuel). Deandre Ayton is over 9. 5 rebounds.

Suns are -7 (-115 via DraftKings) and -226.5 (-110 via FanDuel). Deandre Ayton is over 9. 5 rebounds.

Lakers have won their last three games without James. Suns are one of the most efficient teams in the NBA. They have a 7-2 against the spread record at home. FanDuel has Phoenix at -7.5 (-112), BetMGM offers Suns - 7.7 (-110), DraftKings - -115.

Anthony Davis has scored 30-plus points in three straight games. Los Angeles has averaged 122.3 points per game during the three-game streak. Suns have scored 130-+ points twice in the last week. FanDuel and BetMGM offer the best line to attack the Over at 226.5 (-110). At DraftKings, you're giving up half a point for no gain on the odds with the line at 227 (- 110).

Deandre Ayton has recorded double-digit rebounding efforts in three of his lastfour games. The Lakers have allowed 55.2 rebounds per game this season. FanDuel and BetMGM are betting the Over on Aytons' rebound total of 9.5. DraftKings is less attractive at -105 odds.
