Lakers News: Starters Revealed For LA-Houston Part 2
The starting lineups are in for your Los Angeles Lakers and the detestable Houston Rockets just in time for their Sunday night rematch tonight, slated to start at 6:30 p.m. PT in Crypto.com Arena. Fans can tune into the action on Spectrum SportsNet, Spectrum SportsNet+ or FuboTV.
Questions had lingered about the availability of superstar power forward LeBron James, who had been questionable with a left calf contusion heading into the night. LA will be able to employ his services after all, along with those of maximum-salaried center Anthony Davis, who had been probable to play through linger left adductor/hip spasms.
The future Hall of Famers will be joined by point guard D'Angelo Russell, shooting guard Cam Reddish, and small forward Taurean Prince.
Hot off a 106-100 In-Season Tournament loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Friday, the Rockets seem likely to trot out the same starting five they employed there. $81.4 million man Fred VanVleet will quarterback the action at the point, former No. 2 draft pick Jalen Green will start at shooting guard, LeBron James irritant Dillon Brooks will continue to irritate LeBron James in a bit of small forward-power forward cross-matching chicanery, Jabari Smith Jr. will jump at the four spot, and breakout big man Alperen Sengun will jump center.
