The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers will meet on the court at STAPLES Center on Tuesday, October 31 in season-opening play in a battle of division rivals.
Oddsmakers currently have the Suns listed as 5-point favorites versus the Lakers, while the game's total is sitting at 208.
The Suns had a great season last year, winning the Western Conference's Pacific Division with a 54-28 record. Many believe the Suns can challenge for the title, especially if Amare Stoudemire regains his form.
The Lakers had a sub-par season in 2005-2006, finishing with a 45-37 record, and were third in the Western Conference's Pacific Division. If the recent preseason injuries are any indication, this year won't be going in a forward direction for Los Angeles.
