The Rockets enter this game with a slight edge, having had three days off since their last victory against the Golden State Warriors, where they pulled off an upset as 5.5-point underdogs. With a solid record of winning 32 of their last 50 games, Houston is looking to capitalize on the extra rest to improve their chances against a Clippers team that is on a back-to-back after defeating the San Antonio Spurs just a day prior.

Kawhi Leonard's performance will be a key focus for bettors, especially in the player prop market. His made three-point shots have garnered significant attention, with the prop total shifting from Over 1.5 (-180) to Over 2.5 (+145), indicating a strong lean from sharp bettors on the Over.

The Rockets will need to harness their recent momentum while the Clippers aim to extend their five-game winning streak. This matchup promises to be an intriguing battle with playoff implications on the line.
