Lakers

The Lakes really act as the leader of the Western Conference. The team gave only one victory to Portland at the start of the playoffs, so they confidently made their way to the second round.

The Lakers ended up at Houston and lost again in the first meeting (97-112). Frank Vogel's players appreciated their strengths, worked on their mistakes and since then have not lost a single match.

In the last duel, LeBron James and the company dealt with the Rockets in the class and Anthony Davis became the main character of this game, as he made a double-double. In short, the club from Los Angeles is eager to reach the West Finals and is ready to end the streak against the “rockets”.

Houston

As time has shown, the arrival of Russell Westbrook did not really help the team from Texas, at least for now, since after a difficult reaching the quarterfinals of the playoffs the team continued to perform unstably.

Houston spent a lot of energy on Oklahoma, which the Lakers took advantage of. The guys of Mayla D'Antoni dealt with the rival at the start of the second round (112-97), but they lost all subsequent meetings.

The Rockets will once again come out on the floor as an outsider, although this match could be the last if the team continues to play so sluggishly. The “rockets” need to collect their thoughts and show the “lakes” that they are also capable of something.

Prediction

The Lakers are in an advantageous position, as the score in the series is 3-1 in their favor, so in the next meeting Frank Vogel's charges may reach the final of the Western Conference.

“Houston” needs to go all-in and show the class, otherwise the team gave up early. In our opinion, the Rockets will gnaw the ground for the sake of victory and, at the very least, will go away from the rogue, so the bet will be on the positive odds of the “missiles”.

Our prediction is the victory of the Houston Rockets with the handicap taken into account (+9.5) points for the odds of 1.58 in BC 1xBet
