Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Los Angeles Lakers vs Houston Rockets NBA Regular Season Game on March 15, 2023
- Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
- When: Wednesday, March 15, 2023, 8:00 PM E.T.
Betting on Los Angeles Lakers
- Regular Season Record: 33-35
The Lakers have seven wins in their last 10 games (not including Tuesday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans), and have generally looked better since making several changes in the February deadline.
Anthony Davis is now, more than ever, the player in charge of carrying the offensive weight of the team led by Darvin Ham. In the month of March, the star intern has averages of 26.4 points, 12 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.2 blocks and 55.1% shooting from the field.
Los Angeles is still waiting for the return of LeBron James, but first they must stay in the Play-In zone and, in order to do so, defeating the Rockets this Wednesday is an absolute must.
Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 16-52
The Rockets have been one of the worst teams in the 2022-23 season and, at this point, the franchise’s only priority is to continue to give playing time to young players like Jale Green, Kevin Porter, Alperen Sengun and Tari Eason.
One of the main reasons behind Houston’s awful season is their offensive performance. The team ranks 29th in points per game with an average of 110.3. Only the Miami Heat is worse than them, with and average of 108.7. The Rockets are tied with the Heat for last place in field goal shooting percentage at 45.4%.
JefeBet Prediction
The Lakers defeated the Rockets 142-130 in the previous meeting between the two in the current season. They still have another commitment pending on April 2.
At JefeBet, we believe that Anthony Davis will have a great performance, and that he will lead his team to victory without major inconveniences on Wednesday night in Houston.
Predictions: Los Angeles Lakers Spread (LAL 130-115 HOU).
