Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers Preview

I think the spread and total look very accurate for game 1 in this series, so I’m opting for a series play here.

The Lakers have several matchup advantages and I’m predicting them to win the series in 6, currently paying a healthy $4.

I think they’ve got a very strong advantage on the interior, with a huge frontcourt going against Houston’s undersized bigs.

Anthony Davis should be able to thrive throughout this series, especially with Tucker and Covington likely fatigued after a long first-round series.

This is a very short turnaround for Houston after such an emotional series, where the Lakers advanced through round 1 at a canter.

I’d expect this to negatively affect both Harden and Westbrook, who are known to fade late when tired.

A rested LeBron is also the best player in this series and I’d expect him to run the show offensively.

If the games get close down the stretch, I’d back him to close it out more often than not.

Houston are a talented side that can beat anybody on their day and the Lakers are hardly the beacon of consistency.

But that’s why I’m predicting it to go 6 games. Expect the Lakers talent and rest edge to ultimately win out in the playoff format.
