The Los Angeles Lakers play the Houston Rockets on Monday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The NBA will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a slate of four nationally televised games, capped by this one. Los Angeles has lost three in a row, and its last two losses have come in heartbreaking fashion, including Sunday’s 113-112 setback to the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Rockets have the worst record in the Western Conference at 10-33. Although they’re 28th in defensive rating and last in offensive rating, they have a couple of interesting prospects. One is second-year man Jalen Green, who has already topped the 30-point mark seven times this season.
