The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns will square off on Tuesday night. This contest is the third meeting of the season between these two, with each team claiming a victory in their previous two matchups. The Lakers will be without one of its top stars in this game and they will try to overcome that to get a win in their final game before Christmas Day.
