NBA Playoff Betting Online

Both teams head into this matchup after rolling through their first-round series. The Lakers predictably met little resistance from the defense-challenged Utah Jazz, while the Rockets surprisingly faced a minimal challenge from the upstart Portland Trailblazers.

But, the betting odds says it all: Los Angeles is a -1000 favorite to advance to the Western Conference Finals at the expense of the Houston Rockets (+700).

The Rockets haven’t given bettors much reason to choose otherwise. The Lakers were a perfect 4-0 straight-up in the four head-to-head meetings during the regular season and this is a bad sign for the Rockets as teams that were swept in the regular season (3+ games) are 0-25 all-time in a NBA playoff series.

 

Those four games run the gamut of the entire season. The Lakers have beaten Houston with and without Andrew Bynum. The Rockets have lost with and without Tracy McGrady. The lineups have changed, but the song remains the same.

The Big Man Battle

The Lakers continue to work Andrew Bynum back into the lineup after the 7’0” center missed February and March due to knee surgery. Bynum played only 26 total minutes in the last three playoff games combined versus Utah, but he will likely see increased minutes versus Houston as he matches up versus 7’6” center Yao Ming.

The Prediction: Defenders Shane Battier and Ron Artest will have to keep Bryant in check for Houston to have a chance, and the Rockets can't afford too many of their debilitating scoring droughts or they will quickly find themselves exiting right out of the Playoffs.
