Home crowd was felt tonight. #LakersWin@AntDavis23: 34 pts, 11 reb@KingJames: 21 pts, 9 ast

Lakers:
The Lakers have put together a powerful offensive run with Anthony Davis at the wheel. Davis had 34 points and 11 rebounds made in Game 3. Although now it seems questionable that he would play Game 4 looking at the knee sprain, he said there’s no chance that I don’t play tomorrow to the reporters.
Not only Davis but also Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is listed as questionable with a left knee and quad injury. Anyhow Pope did not have a very great game that night following with only 5 points and 4 rebounds. While LeBron James and Dennis Schröder gained 20+ points for the team.

Predicted lineup:
- LeBron James – Forward
- Anthony Davis – Forward
- Andre Drummond – Center
- Dennis Schroder – Guard
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope – Guard
Suns:
The Suns’ coach Coach Monty Williams said that “Chris Paul missed practice on Saturday to rest his shoulder, in hopes that the time off will help heal what the team is calling a “shoulder contusion and stinger.” He managed to score only 7 points last game. However Paul is still expected to play Game 4, and without Paul, it is simply just a different series for Phoenix.
While the Phoenix Suns playoff debutants DeAndre Ayton and Devin Booker have been inspirational so far in the series they cannot carry the team alone. They will need guys like Crowder, Bridges, and Johnson who scored only 9,6, and 6 respectively in the previous game to start knocking down shots to win it in Game 4.
“Honestly, I just feel like we’ve got to stay locked in as a group through the ups and downs, through the adversity.”

Game prediction:
The Lakers have the talent, and with Paul being injured it gives them more advantage. The Lakers can take an easy lead in Game 4. If only Davis misses Game 4, which is very unlikely to happen, then it will change the dynamic of this series.
