Rockets are facing LeBron James and Lakers, who are looking to build momentum from win over Timberwolves.
After topping the team with the NBA’s worst record Friday with the win against the Pistons, the Rockets will move on to a meeting with a team still hoping to be the NBA’s best.
That should provide the Lakers with plenty of motivation, though they might have had that anyway after the previous meeting with the Rockets when the Rockets won in Toyota Center while the Lakers played without Anthony Davis and LeBron James. They are 14-7 since the roster overhaul, with a sense that with James back, Davis rolling and a lineup in which the parts fit much better, they could make some noise in the postseason. They still have to secure their place in the playoffs, making the return to Toyota Center an important game for the Lakers, and feel that way for the Rockets.The Rockets had assigned Eric Gordon and Jae’Sean Tate to defend James since the end of P.J. Tucker’s seasons with the assignment.
If the Rockets try to go another way, K.J. Martin could get his chance on James, having not defended the Lakers’ star at all in the first meeting.
