The Houston Rockets (10-33) have only won one of their last 16 games, but will try to flip that script on Monday night against a Los Angeles Lakers (19-24) side that has lost its last three. Kevin Porter Jr. missed the Rockets' last two games with a foot injury and is a game-time decision to play. Meanwhile, Lakers guard Patrick Beverley has been out of commission for the last two games due to illness, but he could also make his return to action on Monday.

Tip-off from Crypto.com Arena, where the Lakers are 10-10 this season, is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Los Angeles is favored by 5.5 points in the latest Lakers vs. Rockets odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over/under is set at 235.5.
