The Rockets are away to the Fighting Lakers!The injury list is out: two guards are absent, and 12+6 newcomers may be rested

The Rockets and the Lakers are going to meet again, and tomorrow at 10:30 a.m., that is, on the morning of November 20, Beijing time, the Rockets will go to challenge the Lakers on the road. The Rockets lost the previous game to the Lakers' local brothers, the Clippers, while the Lakers did well as they won the Trail Blazers on the road. The two teams will face each other again, and it will be completely different from the previous one. In the previous game, the Rockets played at home, and with the play of Shin Jing, VanVleet, Jalen Green and other players, they beat the Lakers by more than 30 points at home.

And this game is completely different, first, the Lakers' main center Brother Thick Mei has already returned, and he played against the Rockets before, and Brother Thick Mei failed to play due to injury, but James led the team single-core. Although the Rockets are in good shape now, they also have a 6-4 record, but theoretically, the Lakers are naturally stronger, after all, they have James who has just scored 35 points, and one of the best interior lines in the NBA, although the Rockets' Shen Jing, VanVleet, and Jalen Green also have a good performance, but compared with the Lakers with a full lineup, the Rockets are inferior to their opponents in terms of the number of stars and the depth of the lineup.

And the Rockets are playing away from home, so naturally they don't have an advantage. Looking at the injury situation, everyone on the Rockets' side also knows that Amen Thompson has been unable to play due to a sprained ankle, and he may need to be out for a few more weeks. Although Amen Thompson followed the Rockets to Los Angeles and also played shooting drills during the pre-game warm-up, Amen's injury this time was more serious, and the Rockets did not dare to be careless, and only dared to let him play after he fully recovered.

In addition, scoring guard Oladipo is still unable to play, and everyone must know that because he has been injured, Oladipo was also on and off with the Heat last season, and after coming to the Rockets this season, Oladipo has been on the injury list and doesn't know when he will be able to return.

In addition to Oladipo and Amen Thompson, the Rockets' backup power forward Tari Eason may also have a game off. Against the Clippers, Eason had 12 points and 6 rebounds and performed well. After all, Ethan only returned from injury not long ago, and Udoka did not dare to risk making Ethan too tired in such a dense game, so according to the Rockets, Eason was included in the "doubtful" state because of the "stress reaction" of his legs in this game, and the probability of playing was only 50%. Considering that the Rockets will play back-to-back games against the Warriors on the road next, Ethan should not play in this away game between the Rockets and the Lakers.

In addition, coupled with the Rockets' backup power forward Samuels, who is currently in the Development League, the Rockets have a total of 3 players who cannot play in the game against the Lakers, and Eason is doubtful. That's the Rockets' injury list for this game.

Fortunately, the players of the Rockets are young enough, and the main players in the rotation lineup are generally under the age of 30, of course, the Rockets' backup power forward Jeff Green is 37 years old, which belongs to the "alternative" in the Rockets. At 10:30 a.m. on the 20th, the crucial battle between the Rockets and the Lakers is not to be missed.
