Lakers vs. Suns: Stream, lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Thursday

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Lakers look to get their first victory of the new season after losing their opener on Tuesday to the Denver Nuggets, 119-107. The contest was almost a replay of last season’s Western Conference finals, in which they were  outmuscled and outhustled in a four-game sweep.

Phoenix has virtually an all-new team compared to several months ago after trading for Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. It will have to develop chemistry and cohesion, but once it does, it will have as much star power as any team in the NBA thanks to Durant, Beal and holdover All-Star Devin Booker.

This contest will be the first regular season matchup between LeBron James and Kevin Durant since Christmas Day 2018, and it will be a nice treat for the crowd at Crypto.com Arena.
