Houston Rockets (41-26) versus Los Angeles Lakers (43-25) is an exciting Western Conference clash on Wednesday night at Toyota Center. The Rockets have been somewhat disappointing lately after dropping five of their last 10 matches. They’re coming off a disappointing 92-100 defeat against the Lakers, leaving them fourth in the standings, 12 games behind the Thunder. The Rockets will have revenge on their mind tonight.
LA Lakers, meanwhile, are hitting form at the right time. Before defeating the Rockets, the Lakers escaped with a narrow 2-point win over the Nuggets on Saturday as underdogs. Austin Reeves led the Lakers from the front with 32 points, with Luca Doncic sealing the victory with his 30-point and 13-assist performance. The Lakers have now won six straight matches and will be keen to build a scary winning momentum ahead of the postseason.

Our Houston Rockets vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Rockets are the -3 betting favorites as they look to recapture their winning form. Ime Udoka’s men have been solid at home this season, boasting a 23-9 record. However, their attack has looked blunt lately, scoring an average of 101.25 points in the last four matches. This could be music to the ears of the red-hot Lakers, who have scored 120+ points in four of their last six matches. Doncic has almost been unplayable lately, scoring an average of 36.6 points in his last five matches. Austin Reaves and LeBron James will also be fit to face the Rockets, completing the visitors’ potent attack. We anticipate a close thriller with the Lakers winning on the +3 spread.
Our prediction for Houston Rockets vs LA Lakers: Over 222.5 points.
