The Los Angeles Lakers play yet another must-win against a shorthanded Phoenix Suns team missing two of their big four.

the Atlanta Hawks and the Jazz vs. While the Suns sit closer to the top of the conference standings, the Lakers are catching them at a particularly vulnerable time. Booker is liable to wreck an opponent’s game plan on any given night, and he should be the primary focus of L.A.’s defensive strategy. The Lakers, meanwhile, continue to be without LeBron James and Mo Bamba, but will have everyone else in the lineup. They are 0.5 games back of the No. 9 Minnesota Timberwolves and 1.0 games back of the No.

Led by another tremendous Austin Reaves' performance and an active Anthony Davis, the Lakers kick off their final stretch on the right foot.

Austin Reaves leads the Lakers with 13 points and 4 assists. With reports of the Lakers having a Behind stingy defense, they managed to keep the Suns at 40% shooting from the field and held a six-point lead at halftime. He had a monstrous dunk in the third, where it looked like he wanted to break the rim. He was a composed and efficient on offense, ending the night with 26 points on 9-13 shooting. That something was the insertion of Austin Reaves in place of the slumping Malik Beasley.
