Los Angeles at Houston

The hotly contested Western Conference has several teams jockeying for playoff position, and has a good one tonight in Houston, as the Clippers and Rockets are separated by just 1.5 games in the standings. This becomes a huge game, especially for LA, the trailing team by 1.5 games. The Clippers bring a winning road record into this game, and have rarely been posted as a dog, but have been 4-2 ATS in their last six when taking points. They crushed this Houston team at home exactly two weeks ago. The Rockets have been choppy of late at just 3-3 in their last six games, and have also struggled against elite level teams posting just a 2-6 ATS mark in their last eight vs. a team over .600. The Clippers are dominating the Rockets to the tune of 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings, and 5-1 ATS in the last six in Houston. Take the points on the Clippers.
