Lakers center Andrew Bynum went through another practice without pain on Saturday and is expected to play in Game 1 against the Thunder.

"It helps everybody," Derek Fisher said. "It not only helps guys in our front court, but it helps our perimeter guys."

With Bynum and fellow 7-footer Pau Gasol at power forward, Los Angeles will have a significant size advantage on Oklahoma City's Jeff Green, who is just 6-foot-9.

"We're definitely going to attack the team on the inside," Bynum said, after there were no signs of swelling around his left Achilles tendon that kept him sidelined for the last 13 games of the season.

"We're going to try to slow them down as much as possible and the best way to do that is to score layups and then have an opportunity to get back down the floor [on defense]."
