Los Angeles shot 35.2 percent and was totally dominated, 105-86, by Oklahoma City on Wednesday, and now the Lakers, who already have clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, have to play on no rest. Houston had an off-shooting game against Portland, making only 39.1 percent of its shots, but that was after two hard-fought wins over Dallas and Milwaukee. The Rockets won the last meeting, 121-111, in February, and they are 11-4 ATS their last 15 games versus teams with at least .600 winning percentages. The Lakers have covered just once their last five games overall and are looking ahead to the playoffs. Take the Rockets.
