FREDSTROM'S SUNS/LAKERS PREDICTION

The Fredstrom will make this short and sweet...Suns by 5 Thursday night!

Here's why:

1. Planet Orange will be one fired up biosphere! Gotta love that home court advantage.

2. Yes, the Fredstrom knows that the Lakers are the best team in basketball but the Big Cactus will be fueled up for this one.

3. The Fredstrom likes Matt Barnes on Kobe instead of Raja.

4. The Suns are going on 3 days rest. Lakers-2. That's good for the Suns old legs.

5. Suns are at home...Lakers score 10 less pts. per game on the road.

6. The Lakers are good but they have played 6 home games and only 2 on the road so far. Suns-5.

7. Considering the Suns have missed LB for 3 games, Nash for 1, Shaq for 1, and Barnes for 2, they have managed pretty well this year.

8. And most importantly, The Fredstrom hates the Lakers.

Here's a sneak peek of Thursday night!  What are your predictions?
