MAL VAN VALKENBURG, REVIEW-JOURNAL, 43-35-4 (overall record)
Today's best bet: LOS ANGELES LAKERS (-13) over Houston Rockets
I don't like laying double digits in the playoffs, but you cannot deny the trends here. The Lakers are poised for another 20-point blowout. This game could be over by halftime. Houston did more than expected and can be proud no matter what happens. The Lakers will want to make a statement.
