Premium Pick

Los Angeles is making a late push to get into the playoffs as the Lakers have won and covered four of five following two impressive road victories against Chicago and Minnesota. Anthony Davis scored 17 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter and LeBron James added 18 points against the Timberwolves. Houston ended another long losing streak with a 121-115 win over hapless Detroit, but the Rockets are just 2-5-1 ATS their past eight games. The Lakers are in a big revenge spot after being embarrassed by the Rockets 114-110 on March 15. The Lakers have covered eight of 11 versus teams with .400 or lower winning percentages while Houston is 3-8 ATS against teams with winning records. Los Angeles is 18-8 ATS its past 26 games versus losing teams. Take the Lakers.
