NBA - The simulation report is projecting a high-scoring ATS win for the home team in this one. The Rockets lost to the Lakers in the post-season last year plus lost the first regular season match-up this year. However, in that game Houston simply shot very poorly and that was the difference in the game. Per the simulation report, the Rockets will shoot much better from the field in this one and show high probability of shooting much better than the 12 of 41 from three-point range showing that they had in the first meeting. The Rockets are averaging 111.6 points per game at home this season and have scored 122 or more in a pair of home games already. Per the simulation report it is a high-scoring cover for Houston here as the Lakers have allowed 111.7 points per game their last 3 games. Plenty of scoring in this one plus a home dog cover for the revenge-minded host. Play OVER (Rockets/Lakers)
