Can the Rockets Sustain Momentum From Game 4? Can Reaves Elevate LA's Offense?

Houston has a long way to go, but they're still in it at least.  The Lakers would like to fix that on Wednesday. They want to take no chances, and not even entertain a situation where they could become the first team to lose a 3-0 lead in a playoff series. There's a good chance they throw everything they have at the Rockets, including Austin Reaves who is expected to return to the lineup after injuring his oblique.  The Lakers can definitely use what Reaves provides from a skill set standpoint. But will he be too rusty to make an impact? Can Houston defend him as aggressively as they have other players, and still leave themselves able to cover those who need it?  There's a lot going on in Game 5, including LA's attempts to tamp down Houston's offense, which will be without Kevin Durant. Alperin Sengun has had his way in the last couple of games, and overall using him as a fulcrum has really helped the Rockets get some rhythm.  Time for the Lakers to adjust, but what else does JJ have in the bag?  All that plus Game 5 predictions with Jackson Gatlin of Locked On Rockets.    HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky    Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
