With two games remaining, the Rockets have no reason other than to maintain their playoff momentum by playing against the Lakers on Friday, after securing the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference by taking a three-game lead against the third-place Lakers.
The Rockets are coming off a loss to the Clippers and still securing their first playoff berth since 2020 during the pandemic-hit season. Against the Clippers, they rested key players like Dillon Brooks and Alperen Sengun.
The Lakers, meanwhile, have a one-game lead over the Nuggets in their quest to secure the No. 3 seed in the conference, making Friday's game crucial for them.
The Lakers are coming off a particularly emotional game for Doncic, who returned to Dallas to play against the Mavericks and performed splendidly, scoring 45 points, matching his season high, while LeBron scored 27.
