Our best Rockets vs Lakers SGP for Game 1
Without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, oddsmakers aren’t giving the Los Angeles Lakers much of a shot in Round 1.
That said, if there was a game in which L.A. would show up, Saturday is it. Los Angeles is rested and ready for the Rockets, and LeBron always plays his best in the opener. The Houston Rockets' young stars could be a bit tight, having to start the playoffs on the road.
