Dwight Howard will be playing against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center tonight. He is on the Houston Rockets along with his teammates. Dwight Howard is a center who is an All Star and his teammate James Harden, shooting guard, who is also an All Star. The Los Angeles Lakers are on a 7 game losing streak and the Rockets are on a 7 game winning streak. Dwight Howard wasn’t quite a fit for the Lakers last year. He signed with the Rockets in July. Howard said he will be expecting many boos from the crowd at the Staples Center. The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling this year with many injuries on their roster. Steve Nash is out with his nerve irritation. Kobe Bryant is out with his knees and Achilles injury. Nick Young and Xavier Henry are out with their knee injury. Pau Gasol is injured on his groin and Jordan Farmar is injured with his hamstring. It will be a  game time decision tonight for Jodie Meeks with his ankle. Tonight in order for the Lakers to win, they would have to slow down the whole starting lineup of the Houston Rockets, with Dwight Howard, James Harden, Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons, and Terrence Jones. Lakers are not a good defensive team. The lakers record is ( 18-35), 14th in the west. The Rockets are (36-17).
