The Los Angeles Lakers are off to an 8-3 start to the season while the Houston Rockets have struggled to come in at 3-5. This is a rematch of the Sunday game that the Lakers dominated, 120-102, as Houston shot just 41%, committed 21 turnovers, and saw eight of their shots blocked. The Lakers won the game on turnovers as they scored 30 points off the Houston miscues. Houston also managed a paltry 12 of their 41, 3-point attempts. That is a ton of variance against the Rockets, and it has also had an influence on the line which has jumped two points. The Rockets have revenge here, and I wouldn't expect another off night as they should take care of the ball a lot better in this one. Make the play on Houston.
