The Phoenix Suns (12-8) and the Los Angeles Lakers (12-9) square off in the second of Tuesday’s two quarterfinal matchups of the NBA‘s In-Season Tournament.
LA enters the contest as a slight 1.5-point home favorite.
Anchored by Phoenix’s future Hall of Famer, I’ve outlined a viable three-leg same-game parlay for a highly competitive affair.
Here’s to a fun night of hoops!
