The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Houston Rockets on Monday evening in the second game of their road trip. Los Angeles began the trip on a high note, defeating the Golden State Warriors in a double-overtime thriller on Saturday night.
Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis played a significant amount of minutes during the contest. James played 48 minutes and Davis played 45 to help the team win.

This might result in both of them missing the game against Houston, especially since the club plays a back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks. The injury report released today categorized both stars as doubtful for the game against the Rockets.
For the Lakers to beat the Rockets, they need their stars to suit up. Los Angeles is fighting for a spot in the playoffs, so every game is crucial. This game against Houston may mean more to try to win since the Rockets are in the Western Conference.

If they play Houston, the stars will most likely sit out the next game against Atlanta. It’s all about prioritizing games right now for the two stars, with Houston posing a greater danger in the standings. The Lakers have been experiencing huge ups and downs all season, but they appear to have finally found some stability.
The coaching staff is unlikely to botch things up, thus the stars may play in both games. We’ll find out more before the game tomorrow, but maybe they’ll be able to suit up. Every game counts at this moment, and the Lakers’ two leaders understand this.
We appreciate your feedback and will do our best to meet your expectations.
