Houston at Los Angeles

Los Angeles has responded well following the emotional tribute to Kobe Bryant and then losing at home to Portland.  The Lakers have blown out their last two opponents, including 129-102 against San Antonio on Tuesday. LeBron James scored 19 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter and made five three-point shots in a three-minute stretch.  Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma added 18 points each as the Lakers were hitting on all cylinders. Houston is 11-14 ATS on the road, including only 2-7 ATS in its last nine road contests. The Rockets are 2-6 ATS over the last eight meetings with the Lakers, who are 5-2 ATS in their last seven after scoring at least 125 points their previous game.  Russell Westbrook (thumb) is questionable and the Lakers won the only meeting this season 124-115 on Jan. 18. Take the Lakers.
