Preview:
No official line is out for this game, although early indications suggest it should be around 5.5-6 points. I like the Lakers at this number, especially with the busy week of transactions Houston have had.
Both Robert Covington and Jordan Bell are expected to play here, although there will be an adjustment period in their first game. Russell Westbrook is questionable for this one, which could make their depth even weaker.
The trade of Clint Capela signalled an intent to go small from Houston. While that can work against a lot of sides, the Lakers probably aren’t one of them.
They’ve dominated on the interior all season and I can see a big night from Anthony Davis here. If they can do an effective job containing Houston’s backcourt, I like the win and cover for LA at this proposed number.
Odds:
Tip: Los Angeles Lakers at $1.33
