Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Clippers have cooled off a bit recently as they’ve dropped four of their last seven games overall and they will be looking for some payback after falling short to the Rockets in a 102-95 road defeat last night. Kawhi Leonard led the team with 24 points, eight rebounds and three assists while John Collins added 17 points with eight rebounds on eight of 14 shooting but no other Clippers player finished in double figures in scoring. As a team, the Clippers shot just 41 percent from the field and eight of 30 from the 3-point line. They played great defense to stay in the contest despite their poor shooting until the third quarter where they scored just 20 points to allow the Rockets to pull away. Bennedict Mathurin had a rough game as he shot just four of 13 from the field for his nine points while Kobe Sanders scored just two points on one of nine shooting.
Houston Rockets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets have been in gerat form as they’ve won 10 of their last 14 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after beating the Clippers last night. Kevin Durant led the team with 26 points, six rebounds and three assists, Alperen Sengun added 22 points with seven rebounds and five assists on nine of 14 shooting while Amen Thompson and Reed Sheppard each scored 16 points. As a team, the Rockets shot 46 percent from the field and 14 of 28 from the 3-point line as they got off to a sluggish start and trailed going into halftime. Before they played great defense to hold the Clippers to just 20 points in the third quarter to open up a 15-point lead and win comfortably at home.

Rockets vs Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still missing Bradley Beal and Darius Garland, while the Rockets have ruled out Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams again. The Clippers will be eager to get some revenge in this one, but they will struggle again if Leonard doesn’t get more support from his teammates. It’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, but the Rockets have all the momentum right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Clippers rested Leonard, given that it’s the second game of a back-to-back set. With that being said, I will lean with the Rockets to get the job done at home once again.
