Preview
The Houston Rockets will host again the LA Clippers on Tuesday. This teams just met two days ago in Houston and the Clippers managed to sneak away with the victory 99-98 in a defensive game. The Clippers 2-0 against the Rockets this season.
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
The Clippers have won their last 3 games but they're only 14-18 on the road and are 8th in the Western Conference. They barely beat the Rockets 99-98 on Feb. 28. Reggie Jackson scored 26 points to help lead the Clippers to the victory. Jackson is averaging 16.7 points and 4.6 assists for the Clippers. Marcus Morris is averaging 17.7 points over the last 10 games for Los Angeles.
Last 10 games the Clippers are 6-4, averaging 109.8 points, 44.5 rebounds, 25.5 assists, 7.6 steals and 5.8 blocks per game while shooting 48.5% from the field. Their opponents have averaged 110.9 points.
HOUSTON ROCKETS
The Rockets have lost 9 straight games and are 8-19 at home. They have gone 7-29 against Western Conference opponents. Houston is also 7-29 against opponents over .500.
Wood is scoring 17.6 points per game with 10.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists for the Rockets. Jalen Green is averaging 16.5 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 44.3% over the last 10 games for Houston.

BETTING TRENDS
LA Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of LA Clippers' last 6 games.
LA Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against Houston.
Houston are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games.
Houston are 1-14 SU in their last 15 games at home.
Prediction
I'm surprised that the last game between these two teams was so defensive. The Rockets allow 117 ppg at home and are allwin an average of 122.3 ppg in their last 10 games, I think this game will be different. I can't back up the Rockets as they're only 9-18 ATS at home. Give the Clippers to cover.
PICK: Clippers -6.5 (-110)
