The Houston Rockets are set for a battle against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night as the race in the Western Conference remains tight down the stretch. Houston heads into this battle locked into the No. 2 seed after a 7-3 record in their last 10 games. On the flip side, two games separate the Lakers from the No. 3 and No. 8 seeds. With the importance riding on this game, expect both teams to put forth their best efforts with playoff implications riding on the outcome.

Rockets vs Lakers Best Bet: Lakers -10

The Lakers enter this matchup as double-digit favorites at home. Considering Houston is expected to continue resting its top players with the No. 2 seed locked up, Los Angeles is the bettors’ choice.
JJ Redick’s squad desperately needs this win to avoid an end-of-season collapse that would send it tumbling down the Western Conference seeding.
The Lakers are 30-10 at home this season, which bodes well for them in this conference showdown.

Rockets vs. Lakers Best Total Bet: Over 225.5

Los Angeles has proven throughout the season that they have the firepower to score at a high rate, averaging 113.5 points per game.
The Lakers have scored at least 110+ points in each of their last five games. Assuming this trend stays the same, I believe LA can score enough points that even the Rockets’ reserves can help lift this game over the set total. A final score of 124-104 seems like a realistic outcome.

Luka Doncic Over 5+ Threes Made +195

Luka Doncic has been dominant over the recent stretch, continuing to prove why Rob Pelinka made the blockbuster trade to acquire him.
Doncic is averaging 30.4 points through April, while shooting 43.2% from three.
The Slovenian product has knocked down 5+ threes in two of his last three games.

LeBron James 25+ Points Scored +134

LeBron James is averaging 24.6 points per game on the season, but he’s proven consistently that he can take over a matchup even at 40 years old.
The Lakers star has scored 25+ points in each of his last two games and four of his previous five.
With Houston likely sitting their top players, their defense could be in for a long night trying to slow down James and Doncic.
