When: 6:30.

Where: Staples Center.

On the air: TV: TWC SportsNet, TWC Deportes; Radio: 710, 1330.

Records: Lakers 12-32; Rockets 30-14.

Record vs. Rockets: 1-1.

Update: The Lakers were thumped at home by the Rockets in October, 108-90, but won at Houston in November, 98-92. Dwight Howard did not play in that game, which tilted the Lakers’ way when Wesley Johnson converted a three-point play after stripping James Harden in the final minute. Howard also might miss Sunday’s game after leaving a 113-111 victory Friday over Phoenix with an ankle injury in the first quarter. He is listed as questionable.
