Possible playoff matchup in the Western Conference as the Rockets head into LA to face the Lakers and the Rockets trail the Lakers by 9 games in the west as they sit all the way down in the 6th seed. Rockets got back to winning on Tuesday beating up on the hapless Minnesota Timberwolves. Rockets are 18-14 on the road this season straight up and are well into their no center experiment.
Rockets are lead by James Harden who is averaging 34.4 points per game with 6.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists and lets not forget about James Harden’s wing man Russell Westbrook who is averaging 27.5 points per game with 7 assists and 8 rebounds these two are arguably the best one two punch in the NBA.

Rockets will also look to Robert Covington and Eric Gordon for points Gordon is averaging 14.5 points per game with just 1.5 assists as the Rockets will look to get these guys more involved versus the Lakers. Lakers come in an absolute juggernaut at home going 23-8 SU but are off a damaging home upset loss to the Brooklyn Nets that no one saw coming.
Lakers got caught in a look ahead spot as they had this game circled since February 6th when the Rockets knocked them off 121-111. Lakers Lebron James has been on fire this season as he has MVP type numbers for sure. Lebron is averaging 25.7 points per game with 7.9 rebounds and 10.6 assists almost a triple double nightly then throw in Anthony Davis who has been getting stronger as the season has drawn on.
Anthony Davis numbers on a whole are down this year as he is averaging 26.7 points per game with 9.4 rebounds but the Lakers have so much talent around him drawing away looks. Lakers will look to bounce back and should not only be motivated from the Nets loss but to the loss to the Rockets last time they met. Love the Lakers at what seems like a short number as we back the Lakers minus the points as they win this game 111-100.
