Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets
Monday, March 16, 2026 9:10 PM
Play: Point Spread: +2.5/-104 Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers are playing great all the sudden winning five straight and even with LeBron coming back this team is just rolling right along. Luka and Reaves together have looked great and Luka has been hitting some big shots, it’s going to be interesting to see how he can do here while being guarded by Amen Thompson. The Lakers are fully healthy for this game which is a big help. The Rockets are fresh off an extremely narrow win over the Pelicans and once again it all came down to KD playing an insane amount of minutes and having to take all the big shots down the stretch. This Houston team has been severely hamstrung by their lack of a PG and I think that will be a big problem for them in this one. Take the Lakers as underdogs here on the road as our free pick here on Monday.
