Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Full-Time Result – Handicap (-4.5) for Lakers – 1.90.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Over 229 – 1.80.
If the Lakers want a playoff spot, they have to win. The Houston Rockets are the right opponent for that. The Rockets are losing a lot, so Vogel’s team has to beat them. We think the visitors will get a solid win.
In two of the three head-to-head meetings this season, the teams have broken the total of 229 points. It is likely that the trend will continue. Both teams focus a lot on the attack, so we expect a high-scoring game.
Near the end of the regular season, the Houston Rockets are not looking good at all. If Stephen Silas’ team had won at least once in a while before, they are losing every game. The Rockets had lost 13 of their previous 14 games. They only managed to beat the Memphis Grizzlies (123-112).
Back to back solid nights for the rookie ?

In the game against the Heat, Kevin Porter Jr. scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist.
Los Angeles Lakers:
The Los Angeles Lakers need wins. Despite this, Frank Vogel’s side cannot boast successful results. They had lost five of their previous six games. That leaves the Los Angeles team in ninth place in the standings. The Lakes are in danger of falling outside the Top 10.
