Facing Lakers may not be as bad as you might think. While I understand that Doncic is a great player, they do not have enough length to cover for the Rockets players. Rockets are still missing two key players, Fred and Adams, so it is not that easy to handle that.
But if we do look at the situation, Alperen is not the type of guy they can defend, Lakers just don't have anyone to do that, and Durant is not a small guy neither. So when you combine those two, the only one makes sense is Ayton defending Alpi and Lebron defending Durant, both of which shows how difficult it would be.
