Kyle Kuzma appears to have found the PERFECT way to avoid NBA playoff prep stress — his smokin’ hot GF, a tiny bikini and a beautiful backyard!!

The Lakers star hit up somewhere with really nice weather with his model GF, Winnie Harlow, on Friday … and you can tell by the pic the couple shared — there’s no basketball stress here!

Despite the Lakers coming into the postseason as the #7 seed and under immense pressure to repeat as champs … Kuzma clearly ain’t doing any hand-wringing ahead of the games.

Check out the photo he and Winnie posted … she looks great, he looks happy — and yeah, what pressure again???

Kuzma won’t be asked to do too much while LeBron James and Anthony Davis shoulder most of the load for the Lake Show … but he’s still going to have to play well for L.A. to make another run to the title.

Games start for the Lakers on Sunday … something tells us at least Kuzma will be more than rested and ready for action
