LiontipsClippers vs Houston. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Clippers are facing selection problems once again. Kawhi Leonard received another injury. Without their leader, the Clippers have lost five games in a row. In the most recent game Tyronn Lue's men suffered a home defeat to New Orleans (91:112).
Robert Covington is also on team's injuried list. He and Leonard will miss the upcoming match. Clippers should brace themselves for a tough battle.
During the off-season, Rockets' board failed to strengthen the squad. Head coach counted on individual performances of Jalen Green and Kevin Porter. But their effort is not enough for a success.
Rockets secured their only victory in the match against Utah, beating the Jazzmen by a 114:108 score. The Rockets have lost all other games in the current season.

Tip and bets
Injury-plagued Clippers are unlikely to get an easy victory in the upcoming match. Houston might put up a fight to the favourite. Tyronn Lue's men are in a dreadful form, so the Rockets will have a chance to snatch a win.
Our prediction - Houston to win with a handicap of (+10,5) points
Clippers need to improve their results, so hosts must be assertive on the offense. Texas team is vulnerable on defense, so opponents might beat the total.
Our second bet is on total over 219,5 points
