Houston Rockets vs. Los Angeles Lakers Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury Reports, More
The Houston Rockets (6-4) will play the second game of their three-game California road trip Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers (7-6) in the Crypto.com Arena. The team will look to bounce back from a tough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the same arena.
This was the Clippers first win since the end of Oct. 31. This also marked the first time that the team was able to win a game with James Harden. The nail in the coffin for the Rockets was the cold-blooded four-point-play that Harden got with six seconds left on the clock. The Rockets will look to avoid all of the theatrics in their upcoming game against the Lakers.
The Lakers have won four of their last five games, and the key for them has been the great play from LeBron James. He has averaged 25.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists so far this season, and has been the catalyst for most, if not all of the Lakers' wins.
Over on the Rockets' side, they have been hot as of late. Before the unfortunate loss to the Clippers, the team had won six straight games, and were seen as one of the hottest teams in the entire league. They will look to regain some of that momentum by proving themselves further against a very tough Lakers team.
