The 19-9 Los Angeles Lakers will welcome the 17-10 Houston Rockets to Crypto.com Arena in the early hours of Friday morning for an NBA Western Conference matchup. The Lakers are 4th in the West and the Rockets 6th ahead of us making our prediction on the game.
The Lakers have had a single home game in their last eight, a loss to the San Antonio Spurs. They had won six of seven prior to that on their own court, with this game starting a run of five straight at home.
They are still in a handy enough position at present, just six games back from the Oklahoma City Thunder who top the entire NBA, and this homestand gives them the opportunity to make up ground.
Houston are just about keeping their heads above water on the road, 9-8 when away from Texas, though it is a poor return given that they are 8-2 at home.
This is the final game of six straight on the road for the Rockets, losing four of the prior five, although three of those have come in overtime. A 1-4 record in the extra minutes is the worst in the NBA.
