Call your health insurance company, Jeanie Buss. The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a little roll lately after winning four of their last five games, but things could change ahead of their game against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
The Lakers beat the Rockets at home on Sunday, and the two teams will have a rendezvous at Staples Center. LeBron James and Anthony Davis didn't have to do much as they coasted to the easy win. In their rematch, they might do even less. Because it's still unsure if they'll suit up.
According to the latest injury report of the Lakers, LeBron is questionable due to right ankle soreness while Davis is probable due to right knee soreness. Also questionable to suit up are Wayne Ellington and Dwight Howard while already out are Trevor Ariza, Talen Horton-Tucker, and Kendrick Nunn (via Lakers reporter Harrison Faigen).

At this point, the Lakers might need LeBron's creepy doppelganger to actually suit up against the Rockets.
With LBJ and AD possibly out, plus five other rotation guys, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony will have to carry the load for the Purple & Gold. Luckily for fans, both have been playing well as of late, with Anthony leading the Lakers in their previous meeting with the Rockets.
Many jokes have been made about the Lakers' aging roster. With their laundry list of hurt players, it seems the laughs won't die out anytime soon.
