HOU Rockets @ LA Lakers Tips

The first game landed on 205. Houston's offense looked clunky, and both teams still have major injury issues around their stars.

This is probably the bank of the night, so we need to bet it early if it increases later. Glad that the first game was low scoring, so we got this low line as a gift. Houston shot only 37% from the field while having almost 30 more shot attempts than the Lakers. For sure they will shoot a lot better in game two. My calculations and prediction note that even an almost 220 points line is playable here. Lakers are also underrated on offense because of no Luka and Reaves, but without Doncic they need to increase the pace. Rockets will again get a lot of offensive rebounds. They will be producing more than 97 points tonight for sure.
