Phoenix Suns -4 Point Spread (-110)
The Lakers haven't had the start of the season they hoped for so far this season, to put it mildly. This team has been slowed down by injuries, with several rotational players being in and out of the line-up, plus Anthony Davis now struggling with a groin issue. In 8 games played they've been outscored by a total of 74 points in the 1st quarter, which is the worst mark through 8 games in NBA history. Three-point shooting has also been a disaster, they became the 1st team in NBA history to have a fewer percentage and less threes made from their opponent in every single game in each of their first 8 outings.
