With the Los Angeles Lakers holding a 3-2 series lead over the Houston Rockets in their Western Conference first-round matchup after five games, traders price Over 5.5 total games at 99.7% implied probability, as Game 6 is now guaranteed regardless of the outcome—securing at least six contests in this best-of-seven series. Houston's resilient comeback from a 3-0 deficit, fueled by Amen Thompson's 23 points and Tari Eason's 20 in a 115-96 Game 4 rout, followed by a gritty 99-93 Game 5 win amid Lakers' turnovers, has extended the series despite LeBron James' consistent scoring. Barring extraordinary circumstances like major injuries or cancellation, the market reflects virtual certainty for six or seven games.
