[Charania] No Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James expected tonight: With 4 seed clinched and priority on postseason health, the Suns are planning on sitting their four core stars – Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton – vs. Lakers on second night of back-to-back, per sources.

Destroy them quickly and let Bron and AD rest the 4th quarter
As expected
if we ever dont lead by atleast 15 im gonna be disgusted
We have to go 2-0 to close out the season. 2 easy home games, no excuses.
That would guarantee us at least #7 seed, and a chance for #6 depending how Warriors do.
Makes sense they are already locked into their spot
If the lakers lose today we’re gonna be so clowned on lol
Now we needa WIN AND PRAY WARRIORS LOSE
Don’t relax! Make sure you win easy!
TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS LAKERS
God I hope we can put them away early like we should have against the Jazz
This better not be like that jazz game
Ok Kings, now you play your players and beat the Warriors 🫡
The real victory tonight will be if they can keep Bron and AD under 30 minutes.
Payne and Shamet both scored 2 points each last night. Getting their career highs tonight for sure.
For the love of god END THIS GAME IN 3 QUARTERS
Hope the Warriors lose. Fuck all those games like rockets destroyed our chances.
Did something just go normal for us?

Lakers can win the last 2 games. Its very, very doable
We will go up 20 in the first half and still barely win lol
I’m in the minority, but I don’t think LeBron should rest.
The team still seems like they need some chemistry building with him. Russell and Mo Bamba too. I wouldn’t want to still be in that phase when the playoffs start.
Also, the conditioning aspect. I know they were tired but they can still get worn down playing a hard fought playoff battle every other night. People under estimate conditioning. That’s why Brooklyn nets got eliminated so fast last year.
People that think resting one game is helpful when you’re about to go in an intense playoff battle is crazy to me. The full Lakers team need to play.
Incoming bench warmer looking like prime MJ with 37 points with 8 3PM.
naa bro we cannot drop this game lol
It’s going to be a single digit game heading into the fourth and I’m going to be absolutely miserable
