I'm hardly a Lakers fan nor a fan of Westbrook, Harden, and the Rockets, but looking at this game objectively and with a level head the Lakers will eat up Houston in the paint.

Looks like Houston will start House and PJ Tucker as big forward and center.
Anthony Davis should have his way down low plus McGee should be able to hold his own.
LeBron will be Lebron and get his double/double as well.

Harden will get his no doubt Westbrook too.

Lakers at home in a statement game so to speak and the advantage of the big men for the Lakers is why I like this bet.

Lakers by 12
1.5 units.
