The Houston Rockets will face the Los Angeles Lakers without Alperen Sengun.
Los Angeles Lakers / Schedule
Sengun (back) has been ruled out by the Rockets ahead of their Monday showdown in LA against the Lakers. As such, Clint Capela will earn the starting nod for Houston.
This marks the second consecutive absence of the star big man due to his lower back pain. He didn't play in last Friday's 107-105 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Sengun appeared in 58 games so far this season. He is averaging 20.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and a career-best 6.1 assists.
The Rockets (41-25) and the Lakers (42-25) are the Top 3 and 4 teams in the West. The outcome of the major game will further impact the Conference standings as the regular season heads to the final stretch.
