The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Houston Rockets in a must-win game. The Lakers will be desperate to stem their current slump, while the Rockets will want to further flex their muscles. Sitting in a commanding position in the Eastern Conference, a win for the Rockets will surely send a strong message to all the competitors in the league.

However, with both LeBron James and Luka Doncic available for this game, they would definitely want to play party spoilers for the Rockets.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets: Prediction

The Los Angeles Lakers have just come back to winning ways. After a depressing run of play, the purple and gold finally managed to rake up a win against the Memphis Grizzlies. This win has taken the Lakers closer to the automatic playoff spot. However, there is still lots of work left for them to do. After a last-second blunder from LeBron James against the Chicago Bulls, he will look to take responsibility and put his team over the line against the Rockets.

However, defeating the Rockets will be no child’s play. With the likes of Jalen Green in fine form, the Rockets have been on an incredible run. They won 9 games back to back before losing to the Denver Nuggets. However, they swiftly made a turnaround and have won 2 games on the trot yet again.
