Forget the records for a second. The real juice in Lakers-Rockets is Anthony Davis against Alperen Sengun. Davis has been an absolute beast lately, averaging 26.5 points and 14.3 rebounds over his last four games, while Sengun's put up 20 and 10 in his last two.
Houston’s won six of their last eight, including a big one over the Grizzlies, showing they're finding some rhythm. The Lakers, meanwhile, are riding a three-game win streak, with LeBron looking spry and the supporting cast finally clicking. I still think the Lakers have too much firepower, especially at home. Lakers win 121-115.
