PHX vs LAL Dream11 prediction: Match preview

After a quick turnaround following the Finals, the reigning NBA Champions will take on the Phoenix Suns in their third NBA preseason 2020-21 game. Both teams have had starkly different starts to the preseason so far, with the Suns coming in with two straight losses and the Lakers heading in with back to back wins. The Suns have not qualified to the playoffs since their 2009–10 conference finals run, which, incidentally ended with a 2-4 loss to the Lakers. 

The Suns have lost both their preseason games against the Utah Jazz and will hope to get at least one win at home before the start of the regular season. They will be dependent on their trio of Devin Booker, DeAndre Ayton and Mikal Bridges to help them register their first win of the season against one of the toughest opponents in the draw. The LA Lakers meanwhile, will be charged up after their two successive wins over the LA Clippers.

They will also be bolstered by the return of the Finals MVP LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who were both rested for the first two games against the LA Clippers. They also added some big names like Marc Gasol, Montrezl Harrell and Dennis Schroder in their offseason, further strengthening their bench strength.
