The Houston Rockets play host to the Los Angeles Lakers at Toyota Center on Tuesday evening.

This marks the second consecutive contest between the Lakers (8-3) and Rockets (3-5) in Houston, as the Lakers came out on top on Sunday in their first meeting. The Lakers got out to a great start in the road win with a 19-point lead at halftime. They came out strong in the third and pushed their lead to 27, early in the quarter, but the Rockets cut it to a 13-point game heading into the final frame. The Lakers maintained their composure and kept control through the fourth on their way to their second straight win.

Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 27 points on 9-of-12 shooting, four rebounds and three blocks, in the win. LeBron James followed up with 18 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block, while Montrezl Harrell added 16 points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block, off the bench. The Lakers have been one of the best offensive teams so far, as they are shooting an average of 49.3 percent from the field, which is second best in the league. They are also very strong defensively, as they average 6.2 blocks per game and are holding opponents to an average of 106.2 points per game, which is fifth fewest in the league.

Meanwhile, Christian Wood led the Rockets with 23 points on 10-of-20 shooting, while James Harden followed up with 20 points, nine assists, six rebounds and two blocks. John Wall tallied 14 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and a steal, in Sunday's loss. Wall (migraine) is listed as questionable for action on Tuesday. The Rockets will be looking to get back on track and add to their, 3-2, home record.
