This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER between the Houston Rockets and the LA Lakers.
When the smoke clears at the end of this one, we look for this total to fall below the posted number. After hammering the Lakers 126-97 last Saturday, the Rockets followed it up with back-to-back lacklustre defensive efforts in losses to Denver and Sacramento on Monday and Tuesday: "Whatever it was, we need to play harder and figure it out," James Harden said. "That's the type of messages that are sent. Our defense will get there, but we have to make it get there. We're showing spurts on defense but we are not consistent." A date vs. the hapless Lakers is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked though, Houston would hold LA to just 39.8 percent shooting last weekend, while forcing 20 turnovers and holding a commanding 62-28 scoring edge in the paint. And with games vs. San Antonio and Golden State on the horizon, the Rockets will no doubt be looking to control the tempo of this one from the outset. LA is primed for a letdown here as well as it comes off just its second win of the season after handling the Bucks 113-95 on Tuesday. Note that the Lakers have seen the total go UNDER the number in 11 of 19 this year in trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent and in eight of their last 12 following a non-conference game, while Houston has seen the total stay below the posted number in four of its last six following a loss by ten points or more and in nine of 17 this season after allowing 105 points or more. This number is just a little high, play on the UNDER.
