Summary

The Lakers are likely to have Rui Hachimura tonight when they face the Rockets in Houston. They might have Anthony Davis, who sat out the second half of Monday's loss to Miami. They might have Jaxson Hayes, who missed the entire game on Monday. They won't have Jared Vanderbilt or Gabe Vincent, for sure. So maybe the Lakers will be significantly more whole than they were on Monday... or maybe they won't. That's been the story of the season so far for the Lakers, who haven't been awful, but haven't been able to get themselves into a groove, either, thanks in part to a very challenging early season schedule, some very poor performances for a few games (looking at you, Austin Reaves... though with less frustration now that things seem to have turned around) and major injury issues that have robbed the Lakers of half of the rotation. That's the context for tonight's game against a very competent Rockets team, playing .500 ball at 3-3 and featuring a starting lineup (VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Sengun, Smith Jr.) that is well above water as a unit, in terms of net rating. This game, which looked like maybe one of the easy ones in this brutal stretch of games, isn't. The Lakers will need to bring it to avoid a 3-5 start, with the Suns in Phoenix looming on Friday. This, as much as anything, could be what pushes Davis onto the floor Friday. One thing that would definitely help the Lakers? LeBron getting the whistles he deserves, particularly in transition. The Lakers have made a point of sending the league clips of James getting hit on his way to the bucket. James has made a point of it as well. So why isn't he getting the calls? And what is the impact on the offense that he doesn't? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a tough game in Houston tonight, and it remains to be seen who is actually going to be able to play. SEGMENT 2: Dillon Brooks vs. LeBron James. SEGMENT 3: LeBron James vs. NBA Referees.
