Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview

Still with a chance of escaping the play-in series after yesterday’s stunning win, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the lowly Houston Rockets at STAPLES Center on Wednesday night. The Lakers were in action against the Knicks last night, claiming a hard-fought 101-99 overtime victory thanks to Talen Horton-Tucker’s triple with 21 seconds remaining in the extra period. LeBron James missed that matchup despite reports that he was expected to play, and he’s now said to be targeting a return on Wednesday. The Lakers will be up against a Houston lineup which is well and truly winding down its 2021 season. The Rockets most recently fell 140-129 at Portland to mark an 11th straight loss in conference play and their 43rd in 48 games overall.
