Next up for Lakers: Houston

The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Houston Rockets tomorrow night at the Staples Center.  At 46-26 for the season thus far, the Rockets will be a much tougher opponent than the Grizzlies, at least on paper. 
 

The Rockets currently have the No. 5 spot in the Western Conference playoff race all but locked in, and are attempting to wrestle potential home court advantage away from the Utah Jazz, who are ahead of them in the standings by just one and a half games.  The Lakers would have to make up 7.5 games in the stretch run of the regular season to catch the Rockets- a near impossible feat.
 

They could take a big step in that direction tonight if Kobe Bryant can rebound from his lack-luster performance against the Grizzlies.  The Rockets probably won’t win scoring just 88 like the Grizzlies did. If the Lakers can’t create some offense or interior defense- from anybody- then expect the Rockets to win by about 50.    
 

With playoff positioning at stake in the stretch run of the NBA regular season, Los Angeles Lakers tickets to games versus teams like the Rockets will be extra exciting.  Get great seats to watch all the action at your source for great NBA tickets, StubHub.com.
