The Rockets, on the other hand, are rolling. They are riding a six-game winning streak and have lost in November only once. They have a 17-4 record coming into the game, which is the best record in the Western Conference.

With how the Lakers have been playing recently, they better be prepared tonight or the Rockets will run them out of the STAPLES Center. The Rockets play with a fast tempt predicated on 3-point shooting. That has actually been an area of strength for the Lakers this season, as they have defended the 3-point line well.

The question for the Lakers will be if they can keep up with the Rockets scoring. The Rockets attempt and make the most 3-pointers per game in the NBA. The Lakers make the second fewest per game and have the lowest 3-point shooting percentage in the NBA.

Houston will come at the Lakers from all over the court. James Harden leads the way and has plenty of options at his disposal. Chris Paul, Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson and Trevor Ariza can all light it up from deep. Clint Capela has also been super efficient, leading the NBA in shooting percentage.

The Lakers defense will have to be on top of their game tonight if they want to get the upset victory and pull off the upset. It will be important for Lonzo Ball to try and control the pace for the Lakers as they cannot afford to get into a track meet with the Rockets.
