HOU vs LAL Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Los Angeles Lakers will be looking to end a two-game skid when they host Houston Rockets in a regular season NBA match at Staples Center, in Downtown Los Angeles, on Friday morning (IST).

The big question is if Lebron James can inspire his teammates to raise their game in the last 25 games of the season as Lakers aim for a playoff berth. He can and is very much capable of as historically his own numbers go up after the All-Star Break, and Lakers will hope for the trend to continue.

But turnover is the problem for Lakers, 15.9 per game which ranks 2nd in NBA across both the conferences. James may be one of the greatest players of all time, but he has his own limits on the court. He can’t be everywhere and will need help from his teammates to push the Lakers into the postseason.

Houston Rockets have no such problems at the moment as they are sitting at 5th in the Western Conference. Their record for the season is 33-24, and a winning percentage of 0.579 which if Rockets manage to sustain, should be enough to propel the team into the playoffs.

The star of the season is James Harden. The whole Basketball world is going gaga over his incredible run of +30 points streak. In the last game, the 29-year-old dropped 42 points, taking the streak to 31 games this season.

HOU vs LAL Dream11 Fantasy Team:

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
The business end of the season starts now as Lakers push for the playoff berth. Lakers have been far too inconsistent of late, something which they can’t afford after the All-Star break. Much will depend on the extent to which Lakers stifle Houston Rockets’ star James Harden.
Our prediction is a win for the Rockets.
