Remember when the Houston Rockets were going to boat race the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round without Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic. We do too, but now, Kevin Durant’s injuries have played a role in Houston trying to avoid getting SWEPT! So, with a massive game on deck, we’ve got our best Lakers vs. Rockets predictions for Game 4.

We’ve also something else for you - a GUARANTEED two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus, which is perfect for fans in LA and Houston without legal sports betting to enjoy some Lakers vs. Rockets picks.

🔥 Lakers vs. Rockets Predictions for NBA Playoffs Game 4, 4/26

Locking NBA expert picks for this series has felt as difficult as ever, which correlates to the unexpected nature of the results. Late injury news regarding Kevin Durant very shortly before Game 1 and a little before Game 3 have caused making Lakers vs. Rockets predictions difficult as well.

Even with no KD the other night, it still didn’t look like Houston was going to go down 3-0 in this series. They led by six with less than a minute left in the game, but LeBron and company forced overtime to ultimately get the win. LA has had various guys step up from Marcus Smart to Rui Hachimura.

It’s not out of the question to see Reaves and/or Doncic return if this series gets prolonged, but until we look too far ahead, let’s break down the best bet from our Lakers vs. Rockets predictions for Game 4.

 

 

 

🏅 Lakers vs. Rockets Best Bet: Kevin Durant More Than 23.5 Points (Use His Sleeper Player Card)

This one is likely to be a tough sell with the roller coaster that KD has taken us on, but with his lines and projections posted, he’s expected to be back in action. Of course, that was also the case prior to the games he missed, so we need to keep an eye on things for our Lakers vs. Rockets predictions.

As long as he’s good to go, he's going to be relied upon for Houston to avoid the sweep. He landed on exactly 23 points in Game 2, but he’s always been one to step up when going against LeBron. It’s also important to note that this line is usually higher at 24.5 and even 25.5, so we’re already getting value in that regard.

We also can’t forget that while LA has impressed thus far with their 3-0 lead, they’re still the worst team in the playoffs in terms of defensive efficiency. We also aren’t concerned with minutes as long as KD is deemed ready to go - even after missing Game 1, he came back with 41 minutes in Game 2.

Houston needs the superstar to step up to avoid the sweep, so we’ve got the best bet from our Lakers vs. Rockets predictions on Kevin Durant more than 23.5 points (add him to a Sleeper lineup).
