After resting six regulars in Los Angeles on Wednesday, I doubt the Houston Rockets will rest all of those players again. Instead, I think tonight will look more like a preseason game where the starters and rotation players handle the first half and maybe part of the third quarter before handing the keys over to the players we saw getting tons of minutes on Wednesday night.

The Lakers will play their final home game of the regular season against the Houston Rockets on Friday. While both teams have already booked their ticket to the playoffs, it’s the purple and gold that have yet to clinch seeding.
