9th November – Toyota Center, Houston
Point Spread: LA Lakers - 7.5 @ 2.15 (GetSetBet)
It has also been a largely forgettable start to the season for the LA Lakers, who travel to the Houston Rockets next, desperate for some points.
Mid-table serenity has been the aim for the Houston Rockets this term, with 3 wins and 3 losses from their opening 6 and whilst they haven’t been pulling up any trees this term, they remain a dangerous side.
For the LA Lakers, this has the feel of an important game already, with just 3 wins from their opening 7 games and they head into it two places below the Rockets in the Western Conference table.
Something needs to click for the LA Lakers and this could be the ideal game for them to put the Rockets to the sword and pick up some momentum with a big win.
