Los Angeles at Houston

The Lakers have nearly hit rock-bottom with their double-digit loss to Orlando as a -13.5 point favorite on Sunday. That embarrassing loss dropped the Lakers below .500 on the season. It doesn't get much worse. Kobe Bryant called out his team and as a result, I expect this team to respond tonight. Houston is scoring in bunches, but their defense is very weak, allowing 102.4 per game (106 per game over their last five). Mike D'Antoni coached teams are 91-58 ATS on the road after allowing 100+ points in back-to-back games. His teams are also 78-51 ATS on the road vs. teams that average 100+ points per game. Look for the Lakers to step up to the plate here and deliver a win they desperately need.
