Houston Rockets player Dillon Brooks is looking forward to facing Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James again, aiming to tire him out during their upcoming matchup. In the last playoffs, Brooks, then with the Memphis Grizzlies, declared his readiness to challenge James, but the Lakers prevailed. Despite the loss, Brooks' strong performance caught the attention of the Rockets, who signed him to a four-year, $80 million deal.

Brooks is currently averaging 16.3 points for the Rockets, while James maintains an average of 25.3 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.9 assists. The Rockets, with a 3-3 record, will face the 3-4 Lakers, both teams eager for a victory.
