Analysis: It appears Kobe Bryant could return Sunday night. Oddly enough, that might make the Phoenix Suns happier than it does Bryant's teammates. The last time they played at home, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the NBA's top team even with Bryant sidelined. Now he may be back on the Staples Center floor - with a potentially reduced role - looking to beat the Suns for the first time in nearly two years and end their hot streak. The Suns have won six of the past seven matchups, including all three which Bryant has played. He hasn't been part of a Lakers victory in the series since Feb. 12, 2013. Balanced scoring has led to Phoenix winning a season-high five straight. Six Suns have scored in double figures in four of those games, including Friday's 115-106 win in Sacramento.expect this trend to continue tonight. Take Phoenix -4.5 for a 500* Play
