tough back-to-back for the lakers starting tonight with houston and then tomorrow against the spurs. lakers are going to play 11 of their remaining 19 games away from home

.
cavs have most of their remaining games at home, where they only have 1 loss, so they might have the upper hand over the celtics and lakers in clinching the best record in the NBA. cavs are going to need home court advantage all the way if they want to win the championship. not to say the celtics or lakers don't need it but of the 3 teams the cavs need home court the most. the celtics have like half their games on the road and half of them at home. the lakers swept the cavs in the season series so the cavs definitely need to have more wins than the lakers and can't tie the lakers for the best record in order to have home court.
