Half of the first-round series in the 2021 NBA playoffs are up for grabs. Four of the eight matchups are tied 1-1 after two games, giving lower-seed teams a chance to take control of the series at home.
The Los Angeles Lakers are given the best chance to win Game 3, which is set for Thursday night at Staples Center. After taking Game 2 from the Phoenix Suns on the road, the defending champs are 6.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
As the No. 7 seed, the Lakers entered the playoffs as heavy favorites to eliminate the No. 2 seed Suns. The notion that Los Angeles is the better team was reinforced when LeBron James and Anthony Davis carried Los Angeles in Game 2, looking fully recovered from their regular-season injuries.
