The Rockets hope they get more respect from the Lakers Sunday than they do from Vegas oddsmakers, who peg them as 6.5-point underdogs.
Houston takes its 32-40 mark to Los Angeles to rumble with the 39-35 Lakers.
Oddsmakers like the Lakers in this one, opening the line at 6.5 in favor of Los Angeles.
The Rockets come off a 105-103 win against the Wizards, a game where they were 1.5 point underdogs. The game went over the closing total of 197.
Los Angeles won at Seattle last game as a 2 point favorite against the SuperSonics, winning 106-93. The total sailed under.
With the league's #29-ranked offence, Houston either needs a breakout game or it's up to the defence to keep them in this one. The Rockets average just 90.9 points per game.
