The Los Angeles Lakers could be headed toward the NBA’s play-in tournament unless they can end a two-game skid on Sunday night against the Suns. If you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (37-30) have dropped to seventh place in the Western Conference, and are 1.5 games behind the No. 6 Trail Blazers with five games left to play in the regular season. If the playoffs started today, the Lakers would have a one-game playoff with the Warriors to decide the No. 7 overall seed in the West.
The Suns (48-19), meanwhile, are 1.5 games behind the Utah Jazz in the race for the overall top seed in the West.
