The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Memphis Grizzlies for Game 2 of their first-round NBA playoff series on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Grizzlies after they made a big statement with a 128-112 victory in Game 1 on Sunday. They had four players score over 20 points apiece, and point guard D’Angelo Russell added 19 points to give them tremendous offensive balance. In addition, LeBron James and Anthony Davis brought it on the defensive end by combining for 10 blocked shots and five steals.
The Grizzlies may be up against it already. Their franchise player Ja Morant may not play after suffering a hand injury in Game 1. He has been diagnosed with a soft tissue bruise and will be a game-time decision for Game 2.
