Houston at Los Angeles

LeBron James has carried teams on his back before, but it's asking a lot for him to help replace the 56.8 points per game that will be missing as Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are out with injuries. The Lakers have won three in a row, but the playoffs obviously are a different story without your full roster, especially the two leading scorers. Houston is one of the hottest teams in the league, having won 9 of 10 and covered 6 of 9. The Rockets have stepped it up defensively, allowing an average of 108.4 points per game over 10 games. The Lakers have gone UNDER four of five, and seven of their past 10 Saturday games have stayed UNDER. Houston's defense ranks #4 in points allowed, #6 in field-goal percentage, and #7 in 3-point shooting. Take the Rockets and the UNDER.
