Command Analysis
Houston Rockets
USAThe end of the regular season is closer and closer and Houston looks completely worthless. In earlier stages of the season Silas' men showed some flashes of brilliance, but now team is in a terrible form. Rockets lost 13 of 14 latest matches. They have recorded the only victory over Memphis (123:112).
Houston also lost the previous match. But it was not a surprising result - Rockets played against the leader of an Eastern Conference, Miami. Rockets were unable to put up a fight to the Heat and eventually suffered a 106:123 defeat.
LA Lakers
USALakers need to get more victories. Frank Vogel's men are not so successful recently. They lost five of six latest matches. Los Angeles team is currently only at the 9th spot in the Western Conference standings. Lakers are on the edge of dropping from the Top-10.
Lakers were defeated once again in the previous match. They lost to San Antonio (110:117). But before that, Vogel's men managed to beat Golden State (124:116).

Tip and bets
If Lakers want to get a play-in spot, they need a victory. A match against Houston is a perfect opportunity for that. Rockets are losing way too many matches, so Vogel's men should be able to win it. We are expecting a dominant victory from the visitors.
Our prediction - Lakers to win with a handicap of (-2,5) points
Teams managed to beat the total in two previous head-to-head encounters. We are expecting another high-scoring game. Both teams are playing offensively and they are unlikely to change the strategy.
Our second bet is on total over 229,5 points
