The Lakers are set to face an explosive Houston Rockets offense who have performed well in the bubble. The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a 19 point loss to the OKC Thunder where the duo of Lebron James and Anthony Davis played limited minutes, 30 and 29 respectively, compared to 39 and 35 from the game prior. Despite the decrease in minutes expect the duo of Lebron James and Anthony Davis to still put up solid numbers against a team that is ranked 23rd in points allowed per game. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are a dangerous combo but are gonna have to put in the extra effort to carry their team to victory as they lack depth. With a spread of only 1 point theirs not much upside in picking the inferior team. With Russell Westbrook being listed as questionable the Lakers are even more enticing.
