After a crazy trade deadline, the LA Lakers and the revamped Houston Rockets will battle it out tonight in Los Angeles.

The game will start at 10:30 PM EST at Staples Center and can be watched nationally on TNT. It can also be streamed through the NBA Live Stream subreddit.

The Rockets are playing their first game without a legit NBA center on their roster. After trading Clint Capela for Robert Covington and Jordan Bell, the team dealt Bell for Bruno Caboclo. We may see Caboclo playing heavy minutes at center, as the team's other option is a 37-year-old Tyson Chandler. This may prove to be difficult against a large Lakers team with three quality big men in Anthony Davis, Javale McGee and Dwight Howard.

The Lakers, for better or worse, made no moves at the trade deadline. Despite rumblings about interest in Marcus Morris or willingness to trade Kyle Kuzma, nothing was ultimately done, which may be beneficial to the team in the long run.

This game will help solve two questions: Whether the Lakers were right not to make any trades, and if the Rockets fully committing to small ball with no other option is a good idea.
