Betting on the Houston Rockets

Rockets vs Clippers Predictions Picks Betting Odds
  • Regular season record:10-32.

The Rockets continue to solidify their position as the worst team in the NBA, after suffering their ninth defeat in a row, and for the second time in a row by the Kings.

After allowing 135 points against Sacramento last Wednesday, Houston received a much worse treatment this Friday, conceding 139 points to one of the best teams in the Western Conference.

Prior to this loss, Stephen Silan’s team ranked ninth for a defense that had an average of 116.3 points conceded per game, and it was among the 12 worst defenses in field goal percentage and long distance shots allowed .

While their defensive numbers are not as horrible as one might imagine from a team with 32 losses, the records that are worrisome are the offensive ones. The Rockets have the second lowest average points per game with 109.2, their 44.3% shooting from the field is the worst in the league, and from long distance they have the fourth lowest percentage in the NBA.

To that we can add that their away record is now 4-18, the worst in the league. Also, three of their next four games will be away games, against the Clippers, the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

Betting on the Los Angeles Clippers

  • Regular season record: 22-22.

The Clippers are not going through a good moment, and hosting the worst team in the Western Conference and the NBA could be the perfect opportunity to catch their breath.

After their loss against the Nuggets, the team coached by Tyronn Lue has seven losses in its last eight games played. It is only because they won the head-to-head match against the Warriors that they remain in sixth place in the conference.

Despite having names like Kawhi Leonard, Paul George or John Wall on their team, the Clippers offense is one of the worst in the league. Indeed, only George is averaging more than 20 points per game this campaign.

Prior to scoring just 103 against Denver, the Los Angeles offense shared second place with the Rockets for fewest points scored per game with an average of 109.2. Moreover, they had the eighth worst percentage in field goal shooting, and the sixth lowest percentage in two-point shots.

This is a performance they must improve immediately. After their game against Houston, and the next one at home against the 76ers, the Clippers will play 10 of their next 11 games on the road. For this, they will have to appeal to being the third least beaten team in the championship by allowing only 110.0 points per game.
