Suns move on to play the Lakers on Friday, October 25th.

It's at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles.

Afterward, they return home to play the Mavericks on Saturday. It will be the second night of back-to-back games. The schedule did the Suns no favor.

When: Friday, October 25, 2024

Television: ESPN

Radio: KMVP 98.7 / S: KSUN

Time: 7 PM Arizona time

Going to be a tough game, Davis seems to always have the upper hand against Nurk and he's been money from outside during preseason and game 1 against Minnesota.

Going to be challenge, Lakers went at the wolves with AD, Rui and Hayes. Goober is more nimble than Nurk, so I expect them to go at us the same as they did the wolves.

JJ Reddick seems overly concerned about the game balls being used.

It shouldn't be. The Lakers are awful.

Suns just need to get their 3's up and hit a good percentage. That will beat them trying to bully us inside every time.

They still have AD who when healthy is a fantastic player. This will be a test for our size at least. I would really like to see the team cut down on turnovers and let our PG initiate more. They did it for spurts in the game but we fell into old habits at times. I don't want to see KD, Book or Beal turn into pseudo PG's. There is not reason for it and all 3 of those guys go through spurts of mishandling the ball when they do.

Josh Okogie remains OUT.

Grayson Allen (right Achilles soreness) and Bradley Beal (right shoulder soreness) are PROBABLE.

If it wasn't for being in the middle of a flooring remodel I would have loved to get out to this game. My house is going to be a mess. I guess I will just find a place to sit with pizza and a beer tonight.

My DirecTV television guide says it will be on channel 3 as well as ESPN, but we shall see.
Don't get your hopes up. It's not showing up on my OTA antennae programming. That channel shows Wheel of Fortune at 7 pm followed by Jeopardy. Also, NBA.com is very good at providing channels and it shows ESPN only.

I'm covered either way, but I got almost all the Suns games on channel 3 last season.
