The Phoenix Suns' playoff chances took a hit with their loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday, but they hope to turn things around with the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. With only 10 games left in the season, Phoenix is only 2 games out of the eight spot in the Western, but if they hope to close that gap they have to capitalize sooner rather than later. The Lakers are also looking to regain their footing, coming off a loss to the Houston Rockets. They hope to solidify first place position, leading the Clippers by a game and a half.
Projected Lineups:
- Point Guard: Steve Nash --- Ramon Sessions
- Shooting Guard: Shannon Brown --- Kobe Bryant
- Small Forward: Jared Dudley --- Metta World Peace
- Power Forward: Channing Frye --- Pau Gasol
- Center: Marcin Gortat --- Andrew Bynum
The Suns will still be missing Grant Hill, while the Lakers will be without the services of Christian Eyenga and Jordan Hill.
