The Lakers have lost 12 of their last 16 games to fall to 30-40.

James is having a phenomenal individual season with 29.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, but injuries to Anthony Davis and struggles on both ends from Russell Westbrook and other teammates have put the Lakers in danger of missing the play-in tournament if the slide continues.

L.A.'s team defense has notably taken a dramatic slide. After finishing first in efficiency in 2020-21, the Lakers have fallen to 16th in 2021-22

NBA Twitter reacts to brutal dunk contest: ‘Let’s never talk about it again’ That pretty much sums up things as far on Saturday events, but Sunday's All Star Game was different.

Put some respect on the Suns’ name, they are the best in NBA. The Phoenix Suns are not getting enough credit. This is a team that has won 10 in a row — the last seven of those without their starting center — and at 40-9 has the best record in the NBA. They are the only team with a top-five offensive and defensive rating for the season. They are the best clutch team in the NBA at 19-3 (in games within five points in the final five minutes). They have NBA Finals experience to build upon.

Yet it feels as if many fans treat them as a perfunctory add-on when talking about title contenders (“Oh, and the Suns, I guess”). Based on Caesar Sports Bet Book, the Suns are the third favorite to win the title (+650), behind a Nets team that is both banged up and never found its identity this season, and a slumping and injured Warriors team.

Phoenix absolutely can win the title. If the playoffs started today, it would be the obvious choice.
