Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET
Lakers (+) over Rockets- My only real concern here is if LeBron James will be able to play and be effective. Houston's James Harden has scored 30 or more points in each of his last 31 games and the Rockets are 21-10 in those games. The Rockets are 3-0 against the Lakers this season and have dominated this series going 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings including 8-2 ATS in Los Angeles. The Lakers have been without James 17 games and have lost eight of their last 11. With James back to Lakers are different and Houston struggles again sub-500 teams as they are 1-6 ATS against teams with losing records. Add that the Rockets are just 10-18 ATS on the road. Take the LAKERS!
