Stephen Nover's NBA Friday Bookie Crusher
(NBA) Phoenix vs. LA Lakers, 10/22/2021 10:00 PM, Score: 115 - 105
Money Line: -109.00 LA Lakers (Home)
Result: Loss
Both the Suns and Lakers lost their opening games.

I'm expecting the Lakers to get well in this second game of their season being home and in revenge mode against the Suns, who eliminated them in the playoffs last season. The Lakers are healthy this time around with Anthony Davis back in the lineup.

LA upgraded its roster adding Russell Westbrook. He should be more settled in after not playing well in the Lakers', 121-114, loss to the Warriors.

The Suns didn't look good in a 110-98 home loss to the Nuggets two days ago. I don't think the Suns will be as good as they were last season when everything fell into place for them.
