Following Friday’s victory versus Detroit, the young and rebuilding Rockets have suddenly won four of their last six games within Houston’s friendly downtown confines of Toyota Center. For the 2022-23 season as a whole, the Rockets are a fairly respectable 13-26 (.333) at home while being a woeful 6-33 (.154) on the road.
One of those 13 home wins came less than a month ago versus the storied Lakers, though Los Angeles was without LeBron James and Anthony Davis. In Sunday’s rematch, both superstar forwards could play as the Lakers continue their push for the 2023 playoffs, which should only accelerate as the regular season enters its final week.
