Los Angeles has covered the spread four of the last five meetings, and the Clippers come off their first win of the season, 108-92, over Oklahoma City on Friday as Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris scored 26 points apiece. The Clippers outscored the Thunder 37-15 in the fourth quarter and held Oklahoma City to a .358 field goal percentage for the game. Houston rebounded from an opening-night loss to New Orleans and beat the Lakers 124-115 on Saturday in a game which featured a fight and three players were ejected. The Rockets are only 7-15 ATS their last 22 games against Pacific Division teams while the Clippers are 10-4 ATS their last 14 after a double-digit win dating to last season. Houston will have to try and recover from last night's wild game with no rest. Play the Clippers.
