Online sportsbooks have good reason to lean on the Rockets in this one, with the Lakers dealing with two massive injuries to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.
Doncic is dealing with a left hamstring strain that forced him out of the Lakers' remaining five playoff games, while Reaves is out indefinitely with a Grade 2 oblique strain. Both of them are expected to miss the opening series against Houston, leading Texas online sportsbooks to heavily favor the Rockets at -575 odds.

Rockets Vs Lakers Series Props To Watch
With both Doncic and Reaves out, it’s hard to imagine the Lakers making a case in this one. LeBron and all his greatness just won’t be enough at his age to keep up, and even California online sportsbooks agree with the Lakers +175 Game 1 moneyline odds.
Plus, Houston enters the series with momentum, winning nine of their last 10 games to end the regular season. That said, these are the NBA odds to watch for the series that are still offering tremendous value.
