Los Angeles Lakers star forward Anthony Davis put Houston Rockets superstar James Harden in elite company, citing him as one of the best three offensive forces in the league.

The Houston Rockets faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers eight times during the 2019-20 season, including both the regular season and the postseason. The Rockets went 2-1 during the regular season but were defeated by the eventual champions within five games of the Western Conference Semifinal round.

James Harden proved to be challenging for the Lakers to defend, as he posted averages of 29.
