0.25u

J.Vanderbilt u10.5 Pts-130

1.3u

Avg. 8.0 PPG in the three meeting vs. HOU. W/o AD, he’ll be the main guy used for rim protection & puts himself at severe foul risk. KPJ, J. Green, Eason, Sengun (if healthy) will all ask for contact. HOU permit 4th fewest PITP Post-ASB. #PlayerProps

D.Russell o22.5 Pts-120

1.2u

Excellent spot for D’Lo. Avg. 17.0 FGA since his return w/o LBJ. Should absorb more volume w/o AD (18.6 FGA w/o LBJ). 30, 23. & 23 PTS L3 vs. HOU. 27th DEFRTG post-ASB & tend to bleed PTS vs. jumpshot heavy guards. #PlayerProps

LAL -115 (4Q)

Smaller unit cause the later quarter ones are a bit script dependent but I quite like this one

LAL -1.5-110

1.1u

Lakers need every win they can get. Even without AD they should be able to get this win. Could really see a Rockets let down after the big win against the Celtics. Not sure if it’s in the Rockets’ best interest to keep winning games. 4-11 SU after a win this season.
