Lakers:
The defending champions bounced back in Game 2 with Davis who has a terrible outing in Game 1 he made sure to win for the team but for himself, he completed his 1000 career playoff points.
While James managed to drop 23 points. Andre Drummond had a splendid outing by attacking the rim for the offensive board. He played 24 minutes with scoring 15 points on 7-11 shooting along with 12 rebounds.
Dennis Schroder smashed 24 points including 2-4 beyond the arc. Kentavious had a dreadful outing with 31 minutes in play with 0 points in hand.
Predicted lineup:
LeBron James – Forward
Anthony Davis – Forward
Andre Drummond – Center
Dennis Schroder – Guard
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope – Guard
Suns:
Suns have managed to stay close with or without Chris Paul.
Devin Brooker has been the show stealer with 40 minutes of his playtime he scored 31 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists. Deandre Ayton and Cameron Payne were also a treat to watch with scoring 22 points and 19 points respectively. While the reports say that Paul will be playing Game 3, the major concern is how healthy is he.
Predicted lineup:
Mikal Bridges – Forward
Jae Crowder – Forward
Deandre Ayton – Center
Cameron Payne– Guard
Devin Booker – Guard
Game prediction:
Lakers will be playing on the home court and are one of the heavy teams in the league. If they continue to play like themselves in Game 3, they are likely to take a lead again with 2-1. Although Chris Paul’s injury has been a threat for the suns, Brooker, Ayton, and Payne should be able to surpass the Lakers to take the lead and stick in the series.
