Lakers +3.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Los Angeles will naturally be geared up for this Christmas home game and is 7-4 at home overall with a +2.6-point average scoring margin in that split.

Reaves netted 17 points and a pair of assists in just 22 minutes off the bench during his return from a three-game absence Tuesday.
Per 37.2 minutes per home game, so even a slight bump to 27-28 minutes may well get him over the hump for this prop in what should be a very competitive game against a Rockets squad allowing 40.8% 3-point shooting in the last three games.

Corey Scott is backing another Lakers player to go Over his points in his LeBron James player props.
Kevin Durant Over 24.5 points (-130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Durant has been at his most productive on the road, where he's averaging 25.6 points per game on 52.6% shooting.
