The Los Angeles Lakers play the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Game 1 of the first round, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The seventh-seeded Lakers (42-30) are finally rolling out a healthy lineup against the Phoenix Suns, which didn’t happen in their three regular-season outcomes.
LeBron James headlines the Lakers recently returning from injury, and he explained how his ankle is feeling entering the series. Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder, who missed time prior to the conclusion of the regular season, are also ready.
The Suns (51-21) ended the year as the second seed in the Western Conference, and their winning percentage of 70.8% is the fifth-best in franchise history. Featuring Chris Paul and Devin Booker in the backcourt, the Suns ended a 10-year playoff drought.
They also have young players Mikal Bridges and Deandre Ayton who have drastically improved their play on both ends to help Paul and Booker.
Phoenix won the regular-season series, 2-1, but as mentioned, they haven’t played James and Davis simultaneously, making this matchup even more anticipated.
