The Clippers are off to a downtrodden 2-4 start, but offshore oddsmakers are expecting them to start righting the ship as nearly double digit favorites against 1-6 Houston.
Before Betting on Rockets vs Clippers
The Rockets are not just losers of three in a row, they’re also playing on the back to back following a 124-109 loss in Phoenix on Sunday night which failed to cover even a +13 point spread. The big loss may have actually helped Houston on zero days rest as only three players logged more than 30 minutes.
The only bad thing about the Rockets being on a back to back on Monday is that the Clippers are too, suffering their fourth straight loss in an embarrassing 112-91 defeat at home to the Pelicans on Sunday as -1.5 favorites. That followed consecutive losses at Oklahoma City so Los Angeles is really in shambles right now.
The good news about the Clippers being down big to New Orleans on Sunday is that no players logged more than 28 minutes so the likes of Paul George and Norman Powell should be full go for Monday’s meeting with Houston. John Wall however is already doubtful (rest) and Kawhi Leonard (knee) questionable.

Rockets vs Clippers Prediction & Pick
The Rockets have covered the number in three of their six losses this season, but everything kind of gets thrown out the window with two teams on the back to back and with the Clippers in a bit of a slump themselves. Really no outcome would be a shocker here – an L.A. blowout, a Houston outright win, or a close game so in a situation like that you take the points.
Pick: Rockets +9.5
