Help regarding Houston/Lakers tonight

[Doctor Vegas]

Why is Houston favored by 6 points over the lakers?I looked at the power ratings and Houston should not be favored by more then 2 points.Looks like a trap game to me.Im going to give the rockets a little action for tonight.Any other views regardind this game?

Dunkel Index has Houston 121.2-112.6 (8.5) for what that's worth to you.

Chris Mihm or however you spell it and Lamar Odom is out for tonights game thats the reason for the high line last night as well..

its not high--lakers are awful on back to backs, especially against houston

I like to use greenfield's power rankings as a guide.They had Lakers 100.5 compared to Houston at 98.5.Then add 2.7 points for home court.

I think they said odom wouldn't play last night either but: L. Odom, SF 39 5-13 0-3 4-4 5 6 7 3 0 1 2 14 ..He did same with brad miller SAC...you never know i guess

Don't forget that Hous is playing much better w/ Yao back...or so I heard/read. Or is it McGrady back...no matter, I think the line is solid given Lakers beating they got last night.

If Hous is choice I think your making a wise choice but you can never trust the NBA.
