| 2-2. We aren’t great on thecroad and Lonzo struggles on the road this year. Given the opponents, 3-1 is possible though. |

| I'm gonna temper my expectations and say 2-2. They're just .500 on the road and I expect a game or two where the opposing team's scrubs can't miss and they hit everything. |

I'm thinking this will happen in Houston. Some no name player is going to light us up.
With that said, I'll go 3-1 on this road trip. |

I’d be shocked if we beat Houston.
Obviously they’re not a great team this year but idk just feels like a loss. |
That's why I hope they beat Portland tonight. Get it out of their system. If they lose, they'd be carrying a 4 game losing streak into the Lakers game, which makes them due. |

If we lose to Houston, I think we’ll go 2-2, if we win it could be 4-0.
But I think we’ll lose in Houston... |

| 2-2 I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not completely sold on the Lakers. They have been playing a lot of dregs for a while. On the road the youngsters will probably struggle. |

Harden and The Gutty Little Warrior (no finals appearances) will use it as their own Super Bowl most likely.
If Harden goes to the line 20 times, we likely lose...a lot will depend on the Three Stooges assigned to the game and how much they buy Harden's B.S.

There won't be a lot of short guy mismatches for Harden to exploit, although Hart has difficulty keeping up with his shake 'n bake moves.. He will try to use picks to iso and then beat a big to the rim, but our rotation is pretty good so it should have limited success, imo. CP3 will attempt to find iso's he can exploit also.
Hopefully, the team will continue using Kuzma as a mismatch, which will open up LeBron's game, and hopefully they remember what it took to win the close game.
I'm glad the Lakers are rested for this game. That should help. The Rockets played last night.

Same tbh. But we have been winning games this season that I thought were guaranteed losses... thanks to LeBron |

Hart will grab and foul Harden every chance he gets. Then Hart will get a couple of bogus fouls called. We can't afford anyone getting in foul trouble, especially Kuzma. Ok, maybe Svi or Lance. I don't know if they'll win, but as much as people think we could get clobbered, I suspect it could be more like getting leads like they got against the Spurs, then Memphis, and they just have to close the game and show the maturity of learning how to win and close out a game, like against the Heat. Once they show they can do that consistently, I'll be convinced that they're on the way to above 55 wins and an exciting post season.

4-0.
Lakers are due for an above average road trip. They get past Houston, and they only face terrible Washington on back to back.
4-0.
Lonzo channels his inner UCLA self .. |

| The bad matchup Rockets are out of the way. Lakers should be able to get all 3 if they bring their game. Need at least 2 of the 3. |

Too much overconfidence in our team. I see a lot of 3 and 4 win road trip predictions in here.
We're still too unpredictable. We don't always show up, even in our wins. So until that happens, you're going to see up and down performances and more of a .500 result on road trips depending on the opponents. |

When it’s a 1 superstar team (even if it’s Lebron), it’s tough to win without the depth in a compressed schedule scenario.
Just need to go 2-2 and get Ingram/Rondo back for the home games this weekend. Should have been a 3-1 trip but can’t expect Lebron at his age and mileage to be Lebron and the young core have yet to prove they can consistently bring it on a nightly basis. Just salvage the final game of road trip, 1-3 against those teams is no bueno. |
