TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers,  Houston Rockets

by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Lakers, RocketsThere are 10 games on the schedule this evening, but perhaps none holds more intrigue than Ron Artest making his return to Houston, to face the Rockets as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.But Artest isn't the only one with something to prove, as L.A. will be seeing Trevor Ariza for the first time since his agent played hardball with L.A.'s ownership group over the summer.It's a little early to tell which team has come out ahead in this virtual trade, but looking at tonight's matchup, the Rockets would appear to be the ones with the advantage.Lakers' Ron Artest Returns to Houston originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:02:00 EST .
