Records: Lakers 10-10, Suns 11-9.

Record vs. Suns (2012-13): 2-2.

Update: The Suns are a surprise so far, staying in early contention for a playoff spot despite salary-dumping center Marcin Gortat in a trade with Washington. Former Clippers point guard Eric Bledsoe is a blur, averaging 18.6 points and six assists. The Suns own quality victories over Portland (twice) and Houston, but also lost to Sacramento (twice), Utah and Brooklyn.
