Caesar’s. Amen Thompson has cleared this line in six of his last eight games, and will be leaned on more tonight as the Rockets will be without Alperen Sengun. The Lakers rank 22nd in points allowed at the rim, and 25th in assists allowed at the basket. Thompson recorded 26 points against the Lakers earlier this season - look for him to break 20 again tonight.

The Lakers have won eight of their last nine games, including their last five, but all five were at home. Seven of their last nine have been at home. The Rockets have lost four of their last eight games, losing three of them on the road. The only time they met this season was Christmas Day, and the Rockets won 119-96. But we know so much more about the Lakers now than we did then. They're finding a way to play winning basketball together. Alperen Sengun missed his last game, and the Rockets haven't covered six of their last eight. I think the Lakers will be up for the road test tonight. Lakers to win.
