Considering they played a preseason game to shake off the rust, the LA Lakers ought to be the favorites. Since the Lakers have lost 16 of their previous 19 preseason games overall and the most of their star players are out, it is difficult to take them seriously in the preseason.
The Phoenix Suns are acclimating to life under a new coach, and with the pressure to justify this pricey squad, I would think they would take the preseason seriously. On Sunday night, I'll take the Suns side. As long as the Lakers continue to lose, we will continue to fade them in the preseason.
The Phoenix Suns and Lakers will play one other in the opening game of their preseason competition. The Arizona squad won 123 to 113 in their most recent meeting, securing a convincing victory on their home floor.
Leading the way with 24 points and two rebounds was Grayson Allen. Jusuf Nurkic added 20 points, and Kevin Durant provided 22 points. Durant, Nurkic, Bradley Beal, and Devin Booker are still starting for the Suns since they kept all of their important players on the roster throughout the summer.

The Timberwolves defeated the Lakers to start the preseason. On October 5, the California squad was defeated 107-124. With 16 points apiece, Austin Reaves and Dalton Knecht stood out for the Lakers.
Tonight marks the start of the Phoenix Suns' 2024 preseason schedule versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Although the Suns' roster is still unknown, the Lakers are anticipated to open with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the starting lineup.
Although neither star participated in Los Angeles' first preseason defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, draft selection Bronny James did get to play in his first NBA game.
James will now play for a team that supposedly showed a lot of interest in acquiring him before the Lakers, guaranteeing that we will see the first father-son team in NBA history.
