Rockets vs. Clippers Betting Prediction
Even without their star backcourt, the Clippers are far too strong as compared to the Rockets. They have won 12 of the 22 home games this season and are 12-14 within the conference. The Rockets have been quite clearly the most underperforming side in the entire league and do not have enough squad depth or quality to compete even against an injury-riddled Clippers side.
Clippers: -9.5 (-110)
