Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Amare Stoudemire scored a team-high 23 points for Phoenix while Jason Richardson added 15 points and six rebounds for the Suns in a losing effort.

Really, all NBA betting enthusiasts need to do is take a look at the key head-to-head trends surrounding this contests to get the whole story.

The Home team in this series has gone a blistering 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings between these division rivals while the favorite has also gone a consistent 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings overall.

With the Lakers being the home team and favorite tonight, I like L.A. to continue its home dominance over a Suns team that plays almost no defense whatsoever.

Cementing this pick of another Lakers ATS victory is the fact that the Suns have gone a dismal 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings and 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Los Angeles.

In addition to playing L.A. tonight, I also like the Over in a big way as it has gone an impressive 4-1 in the last five meetings in Los Angeles, 4-0 in the Lakers’ last four home games and 4-1 in the Suns’ last five games overall.
