The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are both shorthanded on Monday night in the second of a back-to-back.

Wenyen Gabriel is back in action, however, after missing the last few games with a shoulder issue, and Patrick Beverley was upgraded to questionable with a calf injury. In his absence, it will be up to Thomas Bryant to continue stepping up as the Lakers’ starting center. Davis injured his foot in Friday night’s win over the Denver Nuggets and is expected to miss at least a few weeks.

NBA Odds: Lakers vs. Suns prediction, odds and pick - 12/19/2022 (ClutchPoints)

The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. We continue our NBA odds series with a Lakers-Suns prediction and pick.

Over his last five appearances, Paul has averaged 15.8 PPG, 9.2 APG, and 5.8 RPG while shooting 42% from the field. If they want to cover a double-digit spread tonight, the Lakers will need shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV to step up. For the season Bridges averages 16.2 PPG while shooting 47% from the field. That being said, Walker is a streaky scorer and will need to step up in a major way if they want to cover. In the win, Bridges scored 25 points while shooting 58% from the field and making five of seven threes. For the season Paul averages just 11.1 PPG and 9.0 APG and has struggled to shoot the ball at just 39%. Phoenix is a strong rebounding team as well, ranking 12th in rebound differential and 10th in rebound rate. James has played well against his friend Chris Paul throughout his career as he averages 25.2 PPG while shooting 50% from the field in 30 career games against Paul. The Lakers are 12-17 against the spread while 55% of their games have gone over. The Suns are 16-14 against the spread while 52% of their games have gone under. LeBron will have a big game without Davis, but the Lakers still need other players to step up and help replace his production. LA is a below-average rebounding team that ranks 17th in rebound differential and 18th in rebound rate.

NBA Odds, Picks, Predictions: Lakers vs Suns Betting Preview (The Action Network)

Action Network contributor Austin Wang previews how to bet Monday night's matchup between the Lakers and Suns.

In the two games he has missed this season, the Suns are 0-2 SU and ATS. They are 4-10-1 ATS against teams with an Offensive Rating better than league average and 3-11-1 against teams with a Defensive Rating better than the league average. The Suns are also 4-0 SU and ATS without Ayton this season. The content on this page is for informational purposes only. The Suns are no longer the dominant team they were for the past two seasons. We may be compensated for the links provided on this page. They have a 13-3 SU record at home and are 10-6 ATS. They are 2-9 straight up and against the spread in that spot, per the Sports Data Query Language at Kyle Kuzma missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer and the Lakers narrowly escaped with the victory. However, the Phoenix Suns are not in a great spot with their injury report. They’ll travel overnight on a second night of a back-to-back and third game in four nights to play one of the best teams in the league. Depending on the price point, his rebound props could be worth a look as I can see him hitting double digits easily with his increase in minutes.

Lakers News: NBA Twitter Goes Off Against L.A.'s Scrub-Heavy ... (Sports Illustrated)

With no Davis, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook or Austin Reaves on the floor, L.A. started out flat against a Phoenix Suns team missing two starters of its own ...

Ex-Laker Kyle Kuzma, whose Washington Wizards as you'll recall just lost their tenth straight game in a 119-117 Sunday defeat to L.A., was in attendance Monday to check out the action, ahead of a Wizards-Suns matchup tonight. Surrendering so much of that club's depth for Russell Westbrook was one of this front office's most bonkers roster mistakes to date. This writer would like to see a healthy Lakers starting five of Dennis Schroder, Lonnie Walker IV, Troy Brown Jr., LeBron James and Anthony Davis, or perhaps Reaves at the point, Walker, James at small forward, Davis at power forward, and Thomas Bryant at center. He's a decent perimeter defender, but is the 6'1" 34-year-old really much better at this stage in his career than, say, Austin Reaves or Lonnie Walker IV? If last night's game was any indication, your Los Angeles Lakers might be in for some tough sledding with Anthony Davis on the shelf indefinitely. With no Davis, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook or Austin Reaves on the floor, L.A.
