With the game in Phoenix, the Suns are slight favorites to win at home. The Suns lost to the Lakers on Friday by seven points in Los Angeles.
The Lakers might be a popular bet due to being an underdog at +150 and already having a win over Phoenix this season. Betting on L.A. would allow bettors to earn a good payout if the Lakers win straight up.

These teams are not rivals in the traditional sense, but they have had plenty of memorable games aside from the phantom timeout game from earlier this season.
The Lakers led this first-round series 3-1, and Phil Jackson-coached teams had been 44-0 when holding a lead in a postseason series. But the Suns won the final three games, including a 121-90 blowout at home that was made possible by Tim Thomas hitting a game-winning 3 at the end of Game 6.
En route to winning this series 4-1, Steve Nash finished one assist shy of Magic Johnson's record for most assists in a playoff game, finishing with 23 in a 113-100 victory in Game 4.
Devin Booker had the game of his life as the Suns clinched this first-round series 4-2, scoring 47 points with 11 rebounds in a 113-100 victory as the Suns won the first of three West series before losing to Milwaukee in the finals.
