On Friday evening, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Phoenix Suns in California.

For the game, star point guard D’Angelo Russell is on the injury report.

However, he is listed as probable, so he should end up being in the starting lineup.

Underdog NBA: “D’Angelo Russell (foot) probable for Friday.”

The 2019 NBA All-Star is having a fantastic season with averages of 17.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in 69 games.

Russell is also shooting a very impressive 46.7% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range.

He was traded (via the Minnesota Timberwolves) to the Lakers in February and has helped the team completely turn around their season.

The Lakers enter the night with a 41-39 record in 80 games, which has them as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.

Before losing 125-118 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night, the Lakers had been in the middle of a four-game winning streak.

They are 7-3 in their last ten games and a very solid 21-18 in the 39 games they have hosted on their home floor in Los Angeles, California.

As for the Suns, they are the fourth seed in the west with a 45-25 record in 80 games.

They are in the middle of a seven-game winning streak and are 7-3 in their last ten games.

That said, the Suns have struggled on the road, going just 17-23 in the 40 games they have played outside of Phoenix, Arizona.
