This will be the third meeting between these two teams in their last five games played. The Clippers won both of the previous two matchups – one game by a margin of 31 points and the other by a margin of one point.<\/p>\n The stage is set for their third meeting this season and the line is set at Clippers -7 with a total of 229.5 points. The last matchup between these two teams, which was on February 27, was a low-scoring affair while the previous matchup was the opposite.<\/p>\n Rockets’ Failure to Launch<\/h3>\nWhile the Rockets seem to struggle against the Clippers lately, one thing they do well is cover the spread against their Western Conference foe. The Rockets are 0-5 against the Clippers straight up but are 4-1 against the spread vs them.<\/p>\n The Rockets have to rely on a balanced scoring attack most nights as they lack any superstars on their team. The Rockets are also stuck in a rut – they are 1-9 in their last ten games and are allowing opponents to score 122.3 points per game on average.<\/p>\n Staying in the Mix<\/h3>\nThe Clippers are 6-4 in their last ten games and are trying to stay afloat while their two star players continue to rehab. The Clippers have upped their play over the last ten games and are shooting 48.5% from the field. The Clippers have also upped the ante on the defensive end are currently 11th in opponents’ points allowed per game.<\/p>\n Rockets vs Clippers Prediction<\/h2>\nThese two teams are certainly very familiar with one another, and while the Rockets need a win badly, I do not think it will come tonight. I like the Clippers -7 to cover the spread<\/strong> tonight.<\/p>\n For the Rockets, it is always a mystery who will step up and help Christian Wood on the offensive end. The Clippers are well-coached and play hard and physically on both ends of the floor. The Clippers can\u2019t let games like this slip if they want to make the playoffs, and the Rockets will continue to trend toward the highest odds in the lottery.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tuesday on WagerTalk TV: \u2014 WagerTalk (@WagerTalk) March 1, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n |
