Result: Loss
This is a 10* on OVER

The Lakers evened this series up Sunday (1-1) with a 117-109 win in Game 2. After getting off to fast start (led 36-20 after the first quarter), LA actually trailed going into the fourth. But they turned up the defense (just 17 points allowed in 4th) and their own hot shooting (56.6% for the game) was too much for Houston to overcome. Now we’re onto a critical Game 3 that should see both teams heavily focused. Somebody to watch is Russell Westbrook, whose numbers have been far from stellar since returning to the court in the Oklahoma City series. Westbrook missed six of the seven three-point attempts he took in Game 2. We think he’s in line to have a better Game 3. On the flip side, the Rockets have allowed an average of 100 points on 43.5% shooting the L5 games. We don’t think that’ll hold up. The Lakers have a big matchup advantage on the inside (Anthony Davis) and have scored at least 111 points in five of their last six games. Look for the Over to hit for a second straight game. Play on OVER.
