Lakers vs. Suns preseason: Live stream, how to watch, TV channel, start time (Dec. 18)

Finally, the Los Angeles Lakers will conclude their preseason schedule on Friday as they play their fourth and concluding game of the exhibition schedule against the Phoenix Suns. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis played in the last game, while Anthony Davis alluded to playing again tonight and LeBron James is not on the injury report, so there’s a solid chance he will play this evening in the final dress rehearsal before the season opener on Dec. 22.

Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:

  • Date: Dec. 18
  • Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: ESPN
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

One of the more interesting subplots of this game is how head coach Frank Vogel will approach the starting lineup. He’s toyed with different units and in Wednesday’s game went with a supersized lineup, featuring Kyle Kuzma in place of Wesley Matthews. Kuzma was excellent for the Lakers in helping them win on Wednesday and another interesting wrinkle has been the play of Talen Horton-Tucker, who continues to show extreme comfort on both ends in the preseason.
