Houston @ Los Angeles picks

Houston’s offense has been on fire and it doesn’t look like anyone is capable of putting it out with Ime Udoka’s team seeing its season average of 114.2 PPG jump up to 119.3 in March while the team shoots a monthly high of 47.5% from the floor, while hitting 37.8% of its 3-pointers. Despite having a solid defense, the Los Angeles Lakers will have their hands full with their defensive drop-off this month. After allowing fewer than 108 PPG in January and February, Los Angeles hasn’t been able to stop anyone. The Lakers are allowing 116.6 PPG this month with opponents shooting 47.4% from the floor and 36% from beyond the arc. This defense is in a slump and taking on the worst possible team to try and break out of it.
