NBA Playoffs Series Odds & Round 2 Schedule: Los Angles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets Series Odds

After a grueling seven-game series, the Houston Rockets are finally into the second round. They will face the Los Angeles Lakers on short rest and DraftKings has the Lakers listed as the favorite to win that matchup at -355 odds. Based on the odds, the most likely exact finish is Lakers in five games (listed at +290).

The Rockets went 2-1 against the Lakers during the regular season with both wins coming after the Rockets decided to go with their small-ball lineup. That lineup will be a major talking point entering this series because of the Lakers' propensity to play with two big men on the floor.

The Lakers could have some depth returning at point guard with Rajon Rondo working his way back from a sore back and broken right thumb.
