Lakers vs. Rockets Playoff Game 2
All eyes are on the court as the Lakers and Rockets continue their high-stakes postseason clash.
Kevin Durant's return provides a significant boost for Houston, who struggled to find their offensive rhythm in the series opener.
The Lakers, led by Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic, remain the favorites as they look to capitalize on their home-court advantage.
Both teams are facing significant injury concerns that could shape the trajectory of the series and the wider Western Conference playoffs.
