Phoenix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers Analysis
The Phoenix Suns roster is going to be led by Devin Booker. Looking at the past NBA stats, Booker scored over 33 points per game, ripped down 4.8 rebounds, and dished out 7.2 assists per game. He will be joined for a full season by Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Beal comes over from Washington after leading the Wizards in scoring.
The Suns, in their latest preseason game, saw Booker score 19 points, while Durant added 19 as well. Grayson Allen and Drew Eubanks were the other two that started for the Suns.
Phoenix will watch Jordan Goodwin and Josh Okogie come off the bench and lead the charge for reserves. Nassir Little was also added to the Suns roster this season.
Phoenix will open up the regular season with back-to-back road games. The Suns are at the Warriors and then at the Lakers before hosting the Jazz and Spurs.
The Age-Defying Lakers Leader
For the Los Angeles Lakers, they are starting the season with 38-year-old LeBron James as the oldest active player in the league. A season ago, James scored just shy of 29 points per game while grabbing 8.3 rebounds per game. He will be teamed up with Anthony Davis, who scored 16 in the most recent preseason affair.
The rest of the starting five for the Lakers will likely feature D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reavers, and Jarred Vanderbilt. The bench will be anchored by Christian Wood and Rui Hachimura.

The Lakers will start the 2023-2024 regular season with a trip to the Denver Nuggets to take on the defending champions. After that, the Lakers have a home game against Phoenix on October 26th.
