Lakers' Starting Lineup Tonight: Los Angeles Lakers' Predicted Starting Lineup Against Houston Rockets
The Los Angeles Lakers will be visiting Houston to play against the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center.
They will again be without LeBron James who has been out due to a groin injury. The Lakers have now won five games without him being in the lineup and will be looking to pick up another win tonight. But the test will not be easy against a massive force in the name of James Harden.
The game against the Oklahoma City Thunder showed maturity among the young Lakers as they held their nerves in the overtime and pulled off a win away from home. Kyle Kuzma scored 32 points and will be an important factor tonight. With him, Lonzo Ball and Pope have shown great promise. They both will be looking to be aggressive again tonight.
One of the dark horses from the last game was Brendon Ingram who played a significant role in the win by using his playmaking abilities. He dished out 11 assists and ran the ball perfectly on the court, picking up open spots. Also, how can we not talk about Ivica Zubac? The man scored 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds on the night coming off the bench. He will be another key player for them.
The Lakers team is a good mixture of players who are improving day by day. They have shown a great heart without Lebron and will be looking to pull off another upset tonight. But the only question I have is, Who will stop James Harden?
