Phoenix Suns will battle it out with the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season match on 27 February.
Head-to-Head
This will be the 276th meeting between the two teams in the regular season since their first game in 1968, when the Suns were established.
The Lakers have dominated this rivalry, having recorded 154 wins compared to the Suns' 121 victories from 275 matches.
Most recent meeting
The Suns dominated the Lakers most recently, winning 132-108 at home on 24 December 2025.
Dillon Brooks led the way with 25 points, while Devin Booker added 21 as the Suns pulled away decisively in the second half against a Luka Dončić-less Lakers squad.
Key Players
With Devin Booker sidelined by a right hip strain, Grayson Allen should step up as the primary scorer, shot creator, and perimeter leader for the Suns during this stretch.
For the Lakers, LeBron James continues to be a dominant force at age 41, delivering veteran leadership, scoring, and playmaking.
Quotes
“We missed some good looks,” Lakers shooting guard Austin Reaves said after his side's 111-89 defeat to the Boston Celtics on 23 February 2026.
“I think we could have done a better job in the first half playing with the pass [and] trying to create better looks in that first half. I thought [in] the second half, we did a good job of that. We missed some good looks and they capitalized on that.
“You’re going to have games where you don’t shoot it well or offensively play well. You got to find other ways to keep yourself in the game.”
