Teams Preview
Los Angeles Lakers Preview
Following a strong start to the season, it's a great time for Luka Doncic to face his ‘enemy’, Devin Booker. Both teams have different formations at the moment, with the Lakers’ backcourt duo of Austin Reeves and Luka Doncic proving effective for the side, as they accumulate the forwards in their offensive plays.
The side won seven games in a row with Doncic recording 30= points, ensuring victories in nearly all those games. The side stands at the second spot in the Western Conference with a 15-4 record. The team averages 118.9 points per game, which is 11th best in the league, and is a key reason for their success so far in the league.
The team stands sixth in the league with an 118.1 offensive rating, while defensively, the team is still seeking the perfect defensive alignment. Defensively, they rank 16th in the league on defensive rating (114.5).
Ironically, the Lakers average 40.8 rebounds per game (27th in the league), primarily due to their high shooting conversions and 3.4 blocks per game (29th in the league). The side also needs to improve on the assists and steals ratio to challenge for the title in the season.
Phoenix Suns Preview
After a slow start to the season, the Suns are slowly picking up the pace and have moved up in the league standings. They finished November with 12 wins and four losses and hold the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings. They have an offensive rating of 115.8 and a defensive rating of 113.5, which is good enough to place them in the 14th position overall in league ratings.
Davin Booker formed a great pairing with Dillion Brooks, who is also leading the team in scoring, and produced some memorable performances in his first season.
In 2025-26, the Suns average 116.7 points per game (18th in the league). The Suns' average of 43.4 rebounds per game is also a good sign for the team’s second-chance opportunities. But the side needs to work on taking care of the possession, leading to heavy 16.6 turnovers and dropping their assists average to 25.5 assists per game, ranking 14th in the league.
Defensively, the Suns top the league with a 10.8 steals per game average in the 2025-26 season. While their perimeter defence is working great for them, the rim protection has been an issue for them, and they average 4.5 blocks per game, which is just around the league’s mean.
