Lakers vs. Rockets Game Preview - Late Night Showdown

On Monday night, the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/houston-rockets-depth-chart">Houston Rockets</a> head West to face the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/los-angeles-lakers-depth-chart">Los Angeles Lakers</a>. Houston enters this matchup looking to build on its current three-game winning streak. If the Rockets find a way to win, they can clinch a spot in the postseason with a Memphis Grizzlies loss. Conversely, the Lakers&#8217; inconsistencies continue, as they&#8217;ve won two of their last five games. Looking to find a winning recipe ahead of the postseason, expect JJ Redick&#8217;s squad to put forth their best effort at home.

<h2>Rockets vs Lakers Best Bet: Rockets ML +146</h2>
Despite their recent stretch of wins, the Rockets enter this matchup as the underdog. Overlooking the Lakers&#8217; recent struggles, bettors seem to think that home court advantage will help Los Angeles get back on the win column. However, with Houston playing for the opportunity to clinch a playoff spot, Ime Udoka&#8217;s squad will have enough motivation to stay focused and get the job done on the road.
<h2>Rockets vs Lakers Best Total Bet: Over 224.5</h2>
The Rockets outlasted the Lakers 119-115 in their lone matchup this season. The two squads proved they&#8217;re evenly matched, at least they were at the time. Houston has yet to play Los Angeles since they acquired <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/luka-doncic/3200">Luka Doncic</a> before the NBA trade deadline, which could play a significant factor in this showdown. Regardless of the personnel on the court, it doesn&#8217;t change the fact that bot squads have the firepower to turn this game into an offensive shootout. A final score of 121-115 seems like a realistic outcome.

<h2>Rockets Best Player Bet: Jalen Green 25+ Points +144</h2>
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/jalen-green/3022">Jalen Green</a> has developed into the dynamic scorer that Houston drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft to become. The six-foot-four guard leads the team in scoring this season, averaging 21.6 points up to this point. In their previous matchup against the Lakers, Green finished with 33 points, which gives me confidence he can put together another big scoring night on Monday. Not to mention he&#8217;s scored 25+ points in three of the Rockets&#8217; last four games.
<h2>Lakers Best Player Bet: LeBron James to Record a Double Double +145</h2>
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/lebron-james/2994">LeBron James</a> needs no introduction as he continues to dominate at 40 years old. The Lakers star is averaging 24.5 points, 8.5 assists, and 8.1 rebounds, and Los Angeles is positioned to make a run in the playoffs. James nearly finished with a triple-double in the first showdown against the Rockets, ending the night with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. Looking to turn things around for his team, I believe James will have a monster game in front of the team&#8217;s home fans tonight.
