Playoffs are where your stars are supposed to shine the brightest. This first game of the Western Conference Finals was certainly an example of that.

Phoenix is still missing Chris Paul as the veteran guard is in the NBA's COVID protocol. It is unclear when the Suns can expect him back. In Paul's absence, Devin Booker was especially effective in the second half of Game 1, scoring 29 of his game-high 40 points. Booker exploded for 18 points in the third quarter alone, and he added 13 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double. Cameron Payne did an excellent job filling in for Paul at point guard for Phoenix. Payne had 11 points, 9 assists, and only 1 turnover in 29 minutes of action.

The Clippers will likely be without Kawhi Leonard for the fourth straight playoff game with a sprained right knee. Again, Los Angeles will rely on Paul George. In the last three games, George has averaged 33 points per game, 12 points above his postseason career average. In Game 1, George scored 15 of his team-high 34 points to keep L.A. in the game while Booker was off his game in the third quarter.

Sands was the 6-point favorite in the second. The over/under was 224.

If you had to leave your "bubble" or suffered the dreaded local blackout and cannot watch the Clippers vs. Suns live stream on cable, you are not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you are surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by a power outage) and access the same streaming services you have already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there. Here are our top picks.

In the US, Clippers-Suns will be on ESPN.

If you haven't already cut the cord and have a cable package, you can get this game on YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and FuboTV. But if you're trying to pick a new service for the NBA playoffs, don't go with Fubo.

ESPN and TNT are both included in the $35 Sling Orange package. Sling Orange has TNT, ESPN, and ESPN3, and the Sports Extras package has NBA TV, making Sling the best place to watch all of the NBA playoffs.

We recommend Sling as one of the best streaming services; ABC's playoff games are simulcast on ESPN3.
