With their playoff series tied at one game apiece, the Los Angeles Lakers are 4.5-point favorites against the Houston Rockets for tonight's Game 3.

Spread betting action is basically even with 51% of tickets landing on Los Angeles. However, the more interesting angle in Game 3 is how big wagers from sharp bettors are shaping the over/under.

Using our new NBA PRO Report, let's detail how the pros are playing this total.

Lakers vs. Rockets Odds, Sharp Betting Pick

Sharp Action

This over/under opened at 224.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook and actually saw some early over action push the number up to 225.5 on Monday night, and that's exactly when wiseguys struck.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals, which track and report professional betting action in real-time, have triggered three smart money indicators on the under, driving the total down to 225.5 at DraftKings and even lower at a handful of books across the market.

Big Bets

The Action Network's NBA public betting data concurs, highlighted by 89% of dollars wagered on the total backing the under. This tells us that the combination of large wagers from the market's most respected bettors pounced on the inflated early number and are responsible for 3+ point line move.
