BETTING TRENDS

LA Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 7 of LA Clippers' last 10 games.

LA Clippers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on the road.

Houston are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Houston's last 5 games.

Prediction

The Clippers just destroyed the Rockets last week and with Houston allowing 124.6 ppg and scoring 109.7 in their last 10 games I expect another similar result for this game. Take the Clippers to cover.
