The Los Angeles Lakers will meet the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs from PHX Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The Lakers were able to knock off the Warriors in a close 103-100 game in the Play-in Tournament but they didn’t look unstoppable like last year’s Lakers squad. They’ll need all hands on deck if they want to keep up with a fast-paced Suns team. Meanwhile, the Suns have played some of their best ball toward the end of the season, winning 9 of 12 games. They have had a week to rest their starters and would expect them to come out hot today.
This should be a great matchup, here is everything you need to know to stream the Game 1 action this afternoon.

Prediction: This is definitely a trap game, many casual bettors will be taking the Lakers in this one. The Suns have been good all year and they are rested, having not played since last Sunday. I am rolling with the Suns in this one.
Bet: Phoenix Suns -2.5
