Nearly 70% of bets are on the Clippers to cover the spread tonight. It has been a bad idea to doubt the Rockets. This season Houston is 10-5 against the spread when getting less than 50% of bets. — John Ewing

Clippers at Rockets feels like it should be a late May game, and perhaps it will be. For tonight, it’s a marquee matchup and a great playoff preview with both teams at full strength and ready to battle.

Houston is exclusively a small-ball team now. Perhaps you’ve heard. Ever since dumping Clint Capela and adding Robert Covington to their lineup, they’ve gone all-in on small lineups with Covington and P.J. Tucker as the de facto bigs.
