Houston at Los Angeles

The Rockets have long been known to be a defensive team, but it hasn't translated on the road, and they have picked up the pace more this season. They have allowed 101 ppg in their last six on the road and at the same time they have scored 103+ ppg. On the season, the Clippers have allowed 100 ppg and haven't been much of a defensive force. The Rockets defensive lapse or more orientation to speeding games up has led to their last seven on the road to go OVER. The Clippers have taken advantage of this as well as the last 10 times they have faced an opponent that allowed 100 or more points in their last game, they have played seven of the 10 to the OVER. I'll follow the trend and play this one to go OVER the total.
