Houston Rockets vs LA Clippers Prediction
Houston Rockets (27-34)
Although the Houston Rockets are now positioned 12th in the conference league standings, their poor performance in the second half of the season has only allowed them to win four of their past twelve games. The Rockets have now won two straight after defeating the Spurs 114-101 at home in their most recent matchup. With a game-winning 45 points and 16 rebounds, Alperen Sengun achieved a career-high and helped the team win. The Houston Rockets are eleventh in the league in terms of defensive efficiency—allowing opponents to score only 113.0 points per game—and fourth in the league in terms of rebounds (46.2 per game).
Alperen Sengun, a centre for the Rockets, averages 20.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game while shooting 53.7% from the field. Jalen Green leads the team in scoring with 18.2 points per game, followed by Fred Vanvleet with 16.5 points and 7.5 assists. Jabari Smith Jr. (13.4 points per game) and Dillon Brooks (13.5 points per game) are two more intriguing guys to keep an eye on.
Los Angeles Clippers (39-21)
Although they have performed well, the Los Angeles Clippers, who are presently fourth in the conference league table, have had recent struggles. They have only won six of their last twelve games. The Clippers lost 113-106 against the Milwaukee Bucks in their most recent game on the road, while Paul George scored 29 points but was unable to secure a victory. Notably, they are ranked sixth in the league in this metric, with 4.6 points per game more than their opponents.
Kawhi Leonard has been a fantastic player for the Clippers, posting a whopping 52.8% shooting percentage from the field, 1.7 steals, 6.2 rebounds, and 23.9 points per game. With an average of 22.1 points per game and 90% from the free throw line, Paul George is not far behind. Recently acquired James Harden has a 41.4% success rate when shooting from outside the arc, averaging 17.3 points and 8.5 assists.
