Rockets Poised for Comeback Against Lakers' Struggling Defense

The Houston Rockets are predicted to bounce back against the Los Angeles Lakers, who have faced defensive challenges throughout the season. Houston's strong defense, led by Alperen Sengun, is expected to exploit the Lakers' reliance on inside scoring and create scoring opportunities for Jalen Green and Sengun.

After a slow week, the Houston Rockets are positioned to bounce back against a Los Angeles Lakers squad that’s defense has been an issue throughout the year.

That will help Sengun, Dillon Brooks, and Amen Thompson to focus solely on slowing James and Davis around the rim. Houston is allowing the lowest 2-point percentage in the NBA and the fourth-fewest twos . He’s now scored 20+ in 16 of 34 games this season, and the Lakers' shaky mid-range defense should have Green licking his lips about the matchup. At the same time, James will get his, even against one of the league’s top defenses.
