Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks
Houston Rockets (21-11) will host LA Lakers (18-13) on Sunday night at the Toyota Center. Both sides have managed to hang on to the Western Conference race, with the Rockets sitting in the third spot (5.5 games), whereas the Lakers are fifth (8.0 games). However, the Rockets have struggled to get results lately after losing their last two matches against the Timberwolves and the Heat. They have their work cut out against the Mavericks and the Celtics before wrapping up their five-game home schedule against the Lakers. Meanwhile, LA has managed to turn things around for themselves after winning their last two games against the struggling Warriors and Kings. They’ll play their next three matches at home against the Cavs, the Blazers, and the Hawks before visiting the Rockets. This extra match for them could mean tired legs on Sunday.
