Bynum scored big against the Clippers two night’s ago with 36 points and will hopefully continue to bring the heat on the court tonight. Kobe had a big game with 31 points and as of late, has really been playing like an MVP candidate. On average this season, the Black Mamba has scored 28 points and six rebounds per game, helping out the Lakers big time.
As for the Rockets, Marcus Camby has been a great help defensively with his exceptional rebounding and guarding. He is someone to look out for tonight. Courtney Lee could also pose some problems; he is averaging 16 points per game in Laker matchups and is a great defender.
