Houston Rockets vs. LA Lakers NBA Pick Prediction 5/12/2021 by Tony T.
Rockets at Lakers—Free pick is Houston Rockets +13. Lakers on a back to back after a tough physical overtime win to the Knicks. Anthony Davis did limp during this game. They will be without Schroder. Caruso is questionable with foot soreness. LeBron James decided to sit out the Knicks game and could return here. There may be some rust but more importantly his teammates have a back to back. Houston has rest advantage and has been able to cover their past three games all against good teams on the road as a heavy underdog. Rockets covered at Milwaukee, Utah and Portland as they averaged 126 points per game. Past five game Rockets are hitting on 46.3% from the floor along with 38.7% from three with their patchwork lineup. Play Houston +13.
