NBA, Memphis Los Angeles Lakers game-1: times and where to see

A challenge, moreover in the playoffs, between Ja Morant e LeBron James it’s already enough to tune in on Sky Sports NBA, stock up on popcorn and ditch the remote. But in game-1 of perhaps the most awaited series (together with Suns-Clippers) of the Western Conference there is so much more. There is the challenge between two of the best defenders in the NBA, Jaren Jackson Jr. on one side and Anthony Davis on the other – both capable of being respectable strikers, as demonstrated an April with 31.0 points per game (in 4 games) for the long of the Grizzlies (crowned as an All-Star for the first time this year) and a March with 28+12 rebounds for AD. And not only: the shooters are in the field, Desmond Bane and Luke Kennard on one side, Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell on the other (Since he’s been in yellow and purple, Russell has shot more than 41% from three points); there are point guards capable of coming off the bench and leaving their mark, Tyus Jones a Memphis (for the fifth year in a row the player with the best assists/turnovers ratio) e Dennis Schroder a L.A. (absolutely decisive in the play-in victory against Minnesota).

And then there is one generational clash: The Grizzlies want to be the new advancing (already eliminated last year by another experienced team, such as the Golden State Warriors), the Lakers cling to theeternal lebron james and to a Davis who has just blown out the thirtieth candle on his birthday cake. The atmosphere at the FedEx Forum will be very hotMemphis is convinced – also thanks to an excellent regular season – that it has all the credentials to go all the way, but from the trade deadline onwards, the new Lakers scare everyone. Race-1 is on Sky Sport NBA with commentary by Flavio Tranquillo and Matteo Soragna: forbidden to miss it.
