The Rockets-Lakers game tips at 7 p.m. CST and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
Starting guards Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green are in the best form of their young NBA careers, which gives renewed hope to the rebuilding Rockets. Over his last eight games, Green is averaging 20.4 points on 48.1% shooting and 35.8% on 3-pointers, while Porter is scoring 25.5 points per game this week on 50.0% shooting and 42.9% on treys.
The Lakers look to be reeling with 12 losses in their last 16 games, while Houston’s last experience at home likely built confidence via Sunday’s upset victory over the Grizzlies — who sit at No. 2 in the Western Conference standings. Los Angeles, by contrast, is at No. 9 and is clinging to one of the final spots just to make the West’s play-in tournament, which they would need to advance out of to make the 2022 playoffs.

OUT: Anthony Davis (foot), Kendrick Nunn (knee)
