Houston at Los Angeles

When the LA Lakers put together a team that included Davis, Westbrook, and LeBron it seemed they were destined for a few Championships. That has not turned out well. They didn't even make the playoffs last year, and at 19-24 thus far this season, they appear to be on the outside looking in again. The Lakers rattled off 5 straight wins and looked like they were finding something, but they have followed that with 3 straight losses. Houston is horrible and has dropped 10 straight, but this Laker's team has proven one thing over the last 2 years. They can lose to anyone. LeBron has been carrying LA since Davis went down with an injury. LeBron is questionable with an ankle injury, Davis is still out, as are 3 other Lakers. I don't expect LeBron to expend a whole lot of energy here against a nothing team, and the door is open for the Rockets. Make the play on Houston.
