Los Angeles @ Houston

Current Records: Los Angeles 47-23; Houston 16-54

What to Know

After four games on the road, the Houston Rockets are heading back home. They will take on the Los Angeles Clippers at 9 p.m. ET on Friday at Toyota Center. Allowing an average of 116.61 points per game, Houston has been asleep on the defensive side of the ball and will need to wake up before the matchup.

It was close but no cigar for the Rockets as they fell 124-122 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Despite the defeat, Houston had strong showings from power forward Kelly Olynyk, who had 24 points and eight assists in addition to six boards, and small forward Kenyon Martin Jr., who dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds along with three blocks.

Meanwhile, everything went Los Angeles' way against the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday as they made off with a 113-90 win. The score was close at the half, but the Clippers pulled away in the second half with 69 points. The top scorers for Los Angeles were shooting guard Paul George (20 points) and point guard Reggie Jackson (19 points).

Los Angeles' victory brought them up to 47-23 while Houston's loss pulled them down to 16-54. Los Angeles is still in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs, so these next two games are critical for them. Houston has been eliminated from playoff contention.

Houston is expected to lose this next one by 7.5. They are currently four-for-four against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Rockets were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap in the teams' previous meeting last month as they fell 109-104 to the Clippers. Can Houston avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
