The Los Angeles Lakers are on the road for a quick two-game trip in Texas and first up is the streaking Houston Rockets.
Houston is currently the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference at 22-12 as head coach Ime Udoka leads an elite defense. The Rockets are coming off a blowout loss to the Boston Celtics at home though, so expect a team looking to bounce back.
L.A. is coming off a dominant win against the Atlanta Hawks, 119-102, granted it was not pretty. However, getting wins any way possible is all that matters in a highly competitive Western Conference.
