Clippers vs Rockets

Solid Return

Last night’s bet on the over 234 points for Klay Thompson’s return to San Francisco paid off as the Golden State Warriors narrowly defeated the Dallas Mavericks 120-117. Tonight, we move from California to Texas.

Home Favorites

First and foremost, the Houston Rockets enter as clear favorites against the Clippers. The Rockets have a 7-4 record from their first 11 games and are looking for their third straight win tonight. These two teams will face off twice at Houston’s home court over the next two days, and the Rockets are aiming to leave with a 9-4 record after this double-header with LA.

The LA Clippers have been unpredictable this season, showing both strong and weak performances. This inconsistency was anticipated due to Kawhi Leonard’s ongoing shoulder injury, which has kept him off the court for an indefinite period. Without “The Claw,” the Clippers have struggled to maintain a winning streak, coming into Houston with a 6-5 record from their first 11 games.

Key Reasons to Bet on the Under

Houston’s Scoring Trends: Despite being one of the stronger teams in the challenging Western Conference, the Houston Rockets are averaging just 111.4 points per game. Jalen Green leads the team in scoring, but the Rockets prefer to distribute their points, with seven players averaging over 10 points per game.

Clippers' Offensive Limitations: The Clippers are also not a high-scoring team, closely trailing Houston with an average of 110.3 points per game. For the Rockets, the key defensive challenge will be stopping Norman Powell, who has averaged 26 points this season. However, if Fred VanVleet is on the court, he’ll provide formidable defensive coverage against Powell.

Betting Market Insight: Bettors tend to favor the over, and oddsmakers are aware of this. With a good price on under 214 points, this is a solid opportunity to place your bet.
