00:00another double digit spread late night in los angeles the lakers hosting the rockets could be

00:05our western conference semifinals matchup if the lakers with a win tonight clinched the three seed

00:10and both teams win in the opening round as houston has clinched the two seed gonna look very different

00:14though by the time we get to the postseason as houston really resting their starters and key

00:19contributors down this final stretch of the nba regular season in its final few days 10 point

00:26spread in favor of la emotional win for the lakers earlier this week in dallas can they bring it back

00:32home tonight to la to clinch the three seed yeah i think the lakers do win but again we handicap these

00:38games in the morning you tell me again the rockets the same way i talked about the cavaliers earlier

00:42in the show it's like we can't just shut it down for a week and a half then expect to just turn it

00:46back on you have to play your guys and get them used to it and that doesn't mean you have to play

00:50in 40 minutes but let's just say the rockets have their starters in there for the majority of the

00:54game they'll cover the 10 points but also i wouldn't want to bet early in the morning the

00:58rockets and they say you know what we are totally going to rest we're going to play some guys on

01:02sunday and that'll be that because then the lakers might be winning 15 to 20 points at the break

01:06as opposed to the game so this is one to keep an eye on but for me again if we're not playing a lot

01:10of starters meaningful game for the lakers mean they'll be locked in on defense maybe that also

01:14225 and a half which is the total stays under as well for me between houston and la

01:19225 and 10 points at the break
