The Rockets face off against the Lakers on Monday night and I’m looking at Amen Thompson in this matchup. Amen is excellent at attacking the rim and getting into the teeth of the defense. He puts pressure on them with his size and athleticism. Here, the Lakers are weak inside of the redirected area. They do not have a great rim presence and with Luka, LeBron, and Reaves their defense is a bit lacking overall. Thompson has already crushed this defense with a 26 point performance back on Christmas and other players like him have had success. Zion and Giddey are two players who both try and get to the rim and each found success recently against the Lakers. I’ll back Amen on Monday night.
