Los Angeles at Houston

The Lakers are a mess right now, but 14.5 points? This is just too many points for the Rockets to lay. Let's not forget that Houston is a barley over-.500 ATS team. They score, but the Rockets defense is far from good. In their last 34 games as a home favorite of more than 12 points, Houston is just 10-24 ATS. This season they are 3-5 ATS as a favorite of more than 9 points including 1-3 ATS when laying more than 11 points. Mike D'Antoni coached teams are at their best on the road after a road loss. He's 71-48 ATS lifetime in that situation. Take the boatload of points here.
