L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:00 ET
Rockets (+) over Lakers- Two huge variables make this a difficult side to settle on one good the other not so good. The first is of course is LeBron James who is looking to guide Los Angeles to back-to-back championships. The other is Houston's James Harden who knows how to score points but not win games is a factor is he wants to 'play.' These two met Sunday at the Toyota Center and the Lakers won easy 120-102 as the Rockets shot poorly and didn't protect the ball committing 21 turnovers. LA is just 3-8 after a straight-up win but after that, Lakers get cocky and Rockets get back. Take HOUSTON!
