Houston Rockets (49-31) at Los Angeles Lakers (56-21)

Sunday, September 06, 2020 at 8:30 pm

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over Houston. In LeBron James' storied career, his teams (Cleveland, Miami, Los Angeles) have been terrific in the NBA Playoffs when they were favored by at least 2 points, and were not winning the series. Dating back to his first season in the Playoffs (2006), LeBron's teams have gone 61-14 straight-up, and 48-27 ATS, including 7-0 straight-up and 5-2 ATS when down 1 game to none. That's one reason I love LeBron & Co. to bounce back off their dismal effort on Friday. Another is that teams seeded #3 (or worse) and installed as underdogs of more than 5 points away from home, have covered just 71 of 183 games off an upset playoff win. Take the Lakers in Game #2. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
