HOU vs LAL Dream11 Team Prediction Basketball, NBA Regular Season, Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers, 13 January

HOU VS LAL Dream11 Team Prediction, NBA Regular Season: HOU vs LAL Dream11 Basketball Match Season match-up:  This game will be a back-to-back situation for the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers beat the Rockets comprehensively in the last game and a repeat of that situation will not bring many surprises to anyone. In the last match-up between the two squads, Anthony Davis top-scored with 27 points and LeBron James and co. didn’t have much trouble in putting off the struggling Rockets. The Lakers have begun the season just like reigning champions are expected to play, and have won 8 of their first 11 games, placing them at the top of the NBA Western Conference Rankings. Meanwhile, the Rockets have not found their groove yet and are placed in a tough situation after winning only 3 of their 8 games. The Rockets still have a long season to figure out their rotations and will hope that the former-MVP James Harden stays with the squad amidst trade rumors. On the other, the buoyant Lakers will likely scythe through this season again, and barring any injury will be favorites to make the NBA Finals. More information regarding HOU vs LAL Dream11 Line-up will be given here.
