Los Angeles vs. Houston

Los Angeles has won six of its last seven games, including four straight vs. Portland and the last two games of this series to take a two games-to-one lead over the Rockets. LeBron James scored 36 points and Rajon Rondo added 21 points and nine assists as the Lakers prevailed 112-102 on Tuesday. Houston is only 2-6 ATS its last eight games, and the Lakers have covered five straight playing on one day of rest. The Rockets are 1-6 ATS with one day of rest, and they are 4-10 ATS following an ATS loss and 3-9 ATS after any loss. Los Angeles is playing its best defense of the season, and that is coach Frank Vogel's trademark while the Rockets are tiring near the end of games. Rondo scored eight straight points during a 10-0 run by the Lakers in the fourth quarter. Lay the points with the Lakers for a Max Play.
