The Los Angeles Lakers host the Houston Rockets on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers (11-9) return home for a rare Saturday night game at Crypto.com Arena after a disappointing 2-2 road trip. While a 2-2 record on a road trip isn’t terrible, their two losses were. They fell to the Philadelphia 76ers by 44 points and to the Oklahoma City Thunder by 23 points. Surely, they will be motivated to get back on the right track, especially before they begin the knockout round of the in-season tournament on Tuesday.
Houston blew out Los Angeles, 128-94, on Nov. 8, but Anthony Davis was unable to play in that contest. With a healthier roster, the Purple and Gold were able to get past Houston by one point 11 days later.
The Rockets, after a six-game winning streak in early November, have lost five of their last seven games and are 8-8. However, they’re a very solid defensive team, and they have a budding star. Big man Alperen Sengun is averaging 21 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists a game this season.
This will also be another matchup between Dillon Brooks and LeBron James, two players who have exchanged words and physical blows over the past several months.
