The Phoenix Suns host the reigning NBA champions LA Lakers at the Phoenix Suns Arena in a 2020-21 NBA game on Sunday.
Battling for first place in the Pacific Division, the LA Lakers will have to find a way to win without their superstar forward LeBron James. James, a four-time NBA winner, is out indefinitely owing to an ankle injury he suffered on Saturday in the Atlanta Hawks game.
Speaking to the media after their loss to the Hawks, LA Lakers head coach Frank Vogel said:
"It's certainly going to be a challenge any time you are undermanned," Vogel said. "But if you play team-first basketball and you defend at a high level, you have a chance to win. That'll be our mindset."
The LA Lakers have the personnel to steal a win on the road but will require a total team effort from the entire roster to accomplish the same. The fixture represents the biggest challenge for the LA Lakers role players as the Purple and Gold are also missing their other star player, Anthony Davis.
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns will be beaming with confidence after beating the LA Lakers in their first clash of the season. However, the Suns have been shaky in their recent stretch. They have gone 3-2 in their past five games, which includes a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team with the worst record in the West this campaign.
Nevertheless, the Phoenix Suns are in decent shape and will fancy their chances against a severely depleted LA Lakers roster on Sunday.
Heading into this matchup, Devin Booker leads the scoring department for the Phoenix Suns with 25.1 points per game. Chris Paul is the team's leading assists leader, with 8.7 dimes per contest.
The dynamic duo has powered the 27-13 Phoenix Suns to second place in the West, one spot above the LA Lakers.
