Suns key to series

Combating Lakers' size. In their only loss this season to Los Angeles, Anthony Davis scored a season-high 42 points as the Lakers won, 123-110, May 9 at STAPLES Center.

The Lakers not only have Davis, but Andre Drummond, Montrezl Harrell and Marc Gasol to throw at the Suns, who really have just one true big in Deandre Ayton.
