Clippers at Rockets: Prediction, point spread, odds, over/under, betting picks (March 1)

In the second of two straight games between the teams, the Houston Rockets host the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night. If you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We have the latest point spread, money line odds and over/under number, as well as all the information you need to make the best bets at Tipico Sportsbook.

The Rockets-Clippers game tips at 7 p.m. CST and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.

The Clippers (32-31) have won three consecutive games to climb above .500, which currently gives them the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference playoff race. Houston (15-45), on the other hand, is on a nine-game losing streak and continues to own the worst record in the West.

However, the closest the Rockets have come to winning in that tough stretch was Sunday’s 99-98 loss to Los Angeles at Toyota Center. It was Houston’s best defensive effort in weeks, but it was somewhat offset by an excessively cold shooting night by backcourt starters Jalen Green and Dennis Schroder, who shot a combined 8-of-33 (24.2%).

If the Rockets can sustain their defensive improvement from Sunday and see those guards return to form, that could be the ticket to finally ending their prolonged slide. To do that, though, they need to find ways to attack the rim more successfully than they did two days ago — when big man Ivica Zubac owned the paint with 15 rebounds and 6 blocked shots.
