Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview
I’m going to take Houston here in an underdog spot, currently getting 7 points against the Lakers.
The Rockets have been atrocious for large stretches over the past 3 games and I’m primarily backing on them getting better play from their top players here.
They shot just 43% from the field in game 4, including a terrible 2/11 performance from James Harden.
Especially if they stick to the super small lineup they tried in game 4, I’d expect both of these numbers to increase here.
I’d also expect a much better effort on the boards, were they were outrebounded by a whopping 52-26.
Much like we saw in the Clippers/Nuggets game yesterday, the underdog has everything to play for here.
A loss for Houston in this one and the futures of D’Antoni, Westbrook, and even Harden are all in question.
I think we see a more motivated and locked-in performance from the Rockets here, while the Lakers may let up just a touch.
They may not win the game straight up, but 7 points provides us with enough of a cushion if they can keep it close.
