Lakers vs. Rockets: One Game Could Flip the West's Seeding
Watch Alperen Sengun against Anthony Davis — if Sengun gets comfortable in the post early, Houston's offense runs through him all night and the Lakers' defense scrambles.
The Lakers have won 8 of their last 10, with Davis averaging 27.4 points over that stretch. Houston's been solid at 52-30 but they've dropped three of their last five on the road, which is a real problem heading into Crypto.com Arena.
Hot take: Davis is the best player on the floor and it's not particularly close, and the Lakers' home crowd has been worth about 4-5 points this season.
Lakers win, 114-108.
