The Houston Rockets, boasting a 15-8 record, face off against the LA Clippers, who stand at 14-10, in a Sunday night showdown at the Clippers' own Intuit Dome. Tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM ET, and while the Rockets might be favored slightly, the matchup promises to be intriguing given both teams' recent form and rest advantages.

Houston enters the game after a three-day break, having lost to the Golden State Warriors 99-93. Despite this recent loss, the Rockets have been in good form, winning 14 of their last 20 games.

The Clippers, on the other hand, have had an extra day off, coming into this game after a four-day break following a 108-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, they have been dominant at home, winning 9 of their last 10 games at the Intuit Dome. The Clippers' moneyline is set at +120, giving them a 44% implied probability of pulling off the victory.

For bettors interested in player performance markets, Alperen Sengun's points total has been a focal point. His points over/under is currently set at 21.5 with the under being favored at -130. Sharp bettors are eyeing this line, believing the under holds value.

While both teams have showcased strong performances, the Rockets' road success and the Clippers' home prowess make this a compelling contest. Whether the Rockets can capitalize on their slight favorite status or the Clippers maintain their home court dominance remains to be seen.
