Los Angeles at Houston

The LA Clippers have had a lot of key injuries, and Blake Griffin remains on the shelf. The good news is that Chris Paul is back, and J.J. Reddick may play tonight, so LA should start playing at a higher level. The Clippers are coming off four straight losses, so they have become an undervalued team. Houston is off to a 24-9 start on the season, and most of that work was done during a 10-game winning streak. Since the streak ended, they are 3-2, with the three wins coming vs. very poor teams. The two losses, however, came against winning teams. I think this will be a good spot for a healthier Clippers team against a Houston team that is coming down off a perfect few weeks. Make the play on LA.
