The Los Angeles Lakers host the Houston Rockets for the second consecutive game at 7:30 p.m. PT on Tuesday night. The Lakers and Rockets squared off on Sunday as the Lakers were able to improve to a winning record with a 95-85 victory.

The Lakers are looking for a repeat result on Tuesday night as it is critical that the team wins these easy games early in the season. The Lakers have a really easy schedule to start the year and they can’t afford to drop too many games to teams like the Rockets.

Houston is going to be one of the worst teams in the league this season and may end up with the first overall pick. That is definitely factored into the betting lines.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Rockets odds, spread, over/under:

According to WynnBET, the Los Angeles Lakers are 10.5-point favorites against the Houston Rockets. This makes the Lakers a -500 moneyline favorite while the Rockets are a heavy +400 moneyline underdog. The over/under for the game has been placed at 218.

This is obviously half a point higher than the final margin that the Lakers beat the Rockets by on Sunday, which raises the question: can the Lakers beat them by one more point than they did two days ago?

Los Angeles Lakers vs Rockets prediction:

I don’t think the Los Angeles Lakers will beat the Rockets by more than they did on Sunday. The Lakers will still win this game but they are dealing with depth issues with multiple injuries and I doubt they get the kind of performance from Carmelo Anthony in back-to-back games. Although, he has been an elite offensive player this year.

The Lakers will win this game and will probably look to cover the spread for most of the game. However, Houston will battle back in classic garbage time fashion not to make the game competitive but to cover the spread for all the Rockets fans who bet them +10.5.

I am going with the Houston Rockets +10.5 and under 218 points. The final score will be Los Angeles Lakers 109, Houston Rockets 102.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Rockets TV channel:

This game is not a nationally televised game so fans in the Los Angeles market can watch it on Spectrum SportsNet.
