The Los Angeles Lakers will look to regain their .500 status on the road Tuesday night when they face the Houston Rockets at 8:00 pm ET.

The Lakers are coming off a disappointing 113-103 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday that capped off the team's 1-2 homestand. Kobe Bryant expressed his frustration by coming up with a simple solution for the team's inconsistency.

"It's not rocket science, it's not solving world hunger, you just gotta go out there and do your job," he said a day after Los Angeles was outscored 40-26 in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers are 3-4 since Mike D'Antoni took over head coaching duties, and Bryant continues leading the team and the NBA with 27.6 points per game.

Bryant said Pau Gasol needs to step up his game, especially with Steve Nash out indefinitely with a small fracture in his right leg, Steve Blake gone the next 6-to-8 weeks with a torn abdominal muscle, and the Lakers' bench among the worst in the league with 23.4 points per game.

Gasol is averaging 10.1 points on 38.8 percent shooting under D'Antoni.

Meanwhile, Houston (8-8) is averaging 113.0 points and shooting 49.9 percent - including 45.5 percent from 3-point range -- during its home winning streak. All five starters have reached double figures in the last three at the Toyota Center.

Chandler Parsons and James Harden, are the team leaders with 24.1 points per game. Parsons led Houston with 24 points and Harden added 20 in a 119-108 loss at the Lakers on Nov. 18 when Bryant countered with his 18th career triple-double with 22 points, 11 boards and 11 assists.

Houston has won 23 of 25 December home games.
