Since the Rockets have no benchmarks in season to aim for these final two games will focus on the latter situation. Since the final two games are against lottery teams there is no reason to have James Harden, Chris Paul and Clint Capela specifically run extended minutes.

Tarik Black (lower black) and Erik Gordon (foot) both missed the last game and are questionable for Tuesday. Ryan Anderson (ankle) missed the last two games and is doubtful for the game in LA.
L.A. Lakers
Although the Lakers surprised the Spurs with an upset overtime victory they’ve mostly given in to the tank race. The squad appears well poised to make another leap forward next year regardless of which coveted free agent joins the youthful roster.
Although the Lakers seemed to lose some of their allure with the addition of Ingram, Kuzma and Ball there is a solid core to build around with plenty of money to draw two big free agents. Moreover, Magic Johnson isn’t likely to pursue anything less than grade A talent. Rather, he’ll have the patience to wait another year if need be.

Out indefinitely are Lonzo Ball (knee contusion) and Isaiah Thomas (arthroscopic hip surgery).

Free Houston Rockets vs. L.A. Lakers NBA Prediction:
The last time these teams met they scored a cumulative 290 points in a double overtime effort. While the Rockets would prefer to win over extending their roster isn’t a wise decision with days remaining until the NBA officially enters the postseason.
Factoring in the players who’ll likely be out for LA, the Rockets task should be to get a big lead and let the reserves bring it home.
