Clippers vs Rockets
The Clippers and Rockets will not need to travel to Houston for this lower level Western Conference matchup. Both teams are already there as this same matchup was played in Houston just two nights ago. The Clippers won a competitive 99-98 affair in that matchup.
These teams will not lack recent familiarity with each other. They played each other in Los Angeles in each teams final game before the All Star Break. They will now have played each other in two of three games since the return to action.
The low scoring affair on Sunday night was even lower than anyone would have predicted, but did not come completely as a surprise. The total is the best way to look at this game from a betting perspective.

Why Bet The Under
✅ The favored Clippers have developed a new knack for lower scoring games, particularly away from home. In ten games overall in the month of February, the Clippers eclipsed scoring 113 points just twice. Those instances both came in home games. In their six road games in February, they did not hit the 110 marker in any single matchup. The lack of a clear go to player certainly hinders them on the offensive end on the road more so than at home.
✅ This matchup features two of the least efficient offensive teams in the league. Both rank bottom five in that category. When considering combined average output, these teams combine for just 215.1 points scored per contest. On the other end, they combine to allow a combined 225.2 points per game. Yes, the Rockets are horrific on the defensive end, but it is difficult to justify a total set this high.
✅ It is absolutely counter intuitive to target an under in a Rockets game. I absolutely understand it does not feel like being on the correct side. That said, a betting total set this high in a Clippers road game borders on indefensible. A Clippers road game has not seen a total eclipse 217 points in any of their last five. Hold your nose and take the under in this one.
