Houston Rockets @ Los Angeles Clippers Preview

The Los Angeles Clippers come into this matchup as strong favorites, boasting a 73.4% implied probability of victory based on the moneyline odds. The Rockets, however, have shown resilience as underdogs, covering the spread in three of their last four games as road underdogs of 5.0-10.5 points. The Clippers are coming off a narrow 122-117 win over the San Antonio Spurs, while the Rockets look to bounce back from recent struggles. This game could hinge on the Clippers' ability to dominate defensively and the Rockets' capacity to keep the game close with their young core.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

In their last 10 meetings, the Clippers have dominated the Rockets, winning 8 of those matchups. The Clippers have also consistently covered the spread in these games, showcasing their superiority in head-to-head contests. The Rockets, however, have managed to keep some games competitive, particularly at home, where they have a slightly better record against the Clippers.

Pick: Clippers -7

The Clippers are the clear favorites in this matchup, and their recent form supports backing them to cover the -7 spread. With a strong defensive unit and a deeper roster, the Clippers should be able to control the pace of the game and secure a comfortable win. The Rockets' inconsistency as underdogs further strengthens this pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Norman Powell Under 18.5 Points

Norman Powell has struggled to consistently hit high scoring marks recently, and with the Rockets' defense likely focusing on limiting secondary scoring options, this line feels slightly inflated. Powell has gone under this total in 3 of his last 5 games.

2. Jalen Green Over 22.5 Points

Jalen Green has been the focal point of the Rockets' offense, and with the Clippers' defense likely prioritizing other threats, Green could have a big night. He has hit this over in 4 of his last 6 games.

3. Kawhi Leonard Over 6.5 Rebounds

Kawhi Leonard has been a force on the boards recently, averaging 7.2 rebounds over his last 5 games. Against a Rockets team that struggles with defensive rebounding, Leonard should have ample opportunities to hit this over.
