Phoenix Suns What To Watch:

When the Los Angeles Lakers host the Phoenix Suns on Friday, their longstanding rivalry in the Pacific Division is reignited for the first time in the 2024–25 campaign.

In their opening games of the regular season, Los Angeles and Phoenix both prevailed. Bradley Beal contributed 24 points to the Suns' 116-113 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, spoiling the home team's Intuit Dome debut. Kevin Durant's 25 points led all five Suns starters in double digits.

Phoenix had a pleasant start to the season thanks to Durant and Beal's combined scoring, Devin Booker's 15 points from 4-of-5 3-point shooting, and six assists. In a tumultuous 2023–24 season that saw the Suns eliminated by Minnesota in the opening round of the playoffs, the trio only played together 41 times.

Budenholzer made his regular-season debut on the Phoenix sidelines with Wednesday's victory. He previously served as head coach of Milwaukee, when he defeated the Suns in the Finals to win an NBA championship in 2021.

The Bucks under Budenholzer were among the league's top-scoring teams on a regular basis. 

Los Angeles Lakers What To Watch:

JJ Redick, the Lakers' new head coach, helped them win their first game. There were questions when Redick, a rookie who had been working in media since leaving the NBA in 2021, was hired in the offseason.

However, with to an outstanding performance from Anthony Davis, Los Angeles defeated Minnesota 110-103 on Tuesday in Redick's debut. To set the pace, the seasoned big man finished with 36 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks.

Rui Hachimura finished with 18 points and five rebounds, while Austin Reaves contributed 12 points, nine rebounds, and four assists.

LeBron James ended with 16 points, five rebounds, and four assists to start his 22nd season. The most noteworthy moment for James was when he played alongside his kid, Bronny, who didn't play more than three minutes in his NBA debut.

Junior James's position off the Lakers bench is still up in the air, but Dalton Knecht, another rookie, seems ready to make a big impact.

Knecht played about 16 minutes and finished with five points, two assists, and a steal. He scored 37 points in the preseason.

With 10 points off the bench on Tuesday, Jaxson Hayes also had an effect. While the Lakers wait for Jarred Vanderbilt to recover from a heel ailment, the post player should see a lot of action.
