There are plenty of storylines for tonight’s matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. The teams’ first NBA In-Season Tournament game, Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James and the home debut of Bradley Beal are just a few things fans will have their eyes on tonight. However, the country of Japan will be watching two of its best NBA players, Yuta Watanabe and Rui Hachimura, dual it out among all of these circumstances.
Tonight’s game tips off at 8 p.m. MST at Footprint Center. For those living in Tokyo, this will be a noon game on Saturday.
